So yes, I continue to be the suckiest blogger ever. I am still waiting for the energy of the second trimester to show up. The throwing up has pretty much tapered off only to be replaced by HEARTBURN!!
Heartburn is not a new concept to me but pregnancy heartburn is a whole new world of pain. And the fun part is there isn't much you can take to make yourself feel better. I have tried "home remedies" like milk which work for 30 seconds and only seem to encourage the heartburn to burn my throat with revenge. I asked my friend who recently had a child what she took...Tums. We don't have them in Australia.
One night was particularly bad. We were sitting on the couch watching Mike and Molly. Suddenly, the burning pain came out of no where. It hurt so bad I turned into pregnant satan! I demanded Simon get off the couch and go find a pharmacy that was still open and get ANYTHING! It was that or I was going to literally cut my body parts out. He came back with Mylanta. I honestly was glad to have it but holy cow that stuff tastes nasty!!
Today we saw the doctor and he gave me a prescription for Zantac. Unfortunately, the mother of all heartburn is rearing it's ugly head right now and neither Zantac or Mylanta are doing anything. With that said I rather have heartburn for my lovely little babies than for no reason at all like before.
