Indigestion

[Princess81]

I've never had it before, can anyone explain what it feels like?

I ate my dinner (pasta with homemade bolognase sauce) at 17.30 and had a banana about an hour later and it all feels as if it's sat just above my stomach in a big heavy mass

Is that what indigestion is like? I'm worried cos I'm going to bed in a bit and it still feels like its sat there and I'll end up feeling sick in bed

Anyone shed any light?

it can be a mild feeling of tasting/feeling your food in the back of your throat to feeling too full and a bit sick, to a burney feeling at the back of your mouth. the worst i ever had was being taken to A&E cos it felt like someone had shoved a tennis ball down my throat and set it on fire, hours later after being sick and sitting in hospital it went away but my god that sucked. i have acid reflux so it happens a lot. gaviscon or rennie tabs are what i would recommend. never take painkillers for indigestion / heartburn as the make it worse. my mum swears by bicarbonate of soda mixed with water for indigestion.

Indigestion to me feels like the food hangs about, and I end up getting the hick ups.

I'd say you're tummy is probably getting quite full of baby, and not enough space for stomach.
