I have had a sore throat for about 3 days. Ok so I have a cold, no big deal. But then last night when I went to bed around 12pm, I couldn't lay down. The minute I laid down I had the worse abdominal pain/heartburn ever!!! For about 2 hours I walked around the house trying to get rid of this feeling. I have been having heartburn for a few weeks now, but nothing this bad.
I eventually got myself to lay down, propping my head up. That didn't do any good because I woke up at 4 am (tmi warning) throwing up in my hands. Yuck!!! I couldn't even wait to get to the bathroom. This started to scare me. Why the heck was I throwing up?? So at 4am I went downstairs to google this, drank a glass of milk and tired to lay back down. Woke back up at 5 am with the same feeling so I decided to go sit on the couch. Have you ever tried to sleep sitting up??? It sucks. I got a couple more hours of sleep, but still waking up every half hour or so. Every time I tried to lay on my side I would get this rush of heartburn/nausea feeling.
I called the OB this morning and she told me that I could take Maalox and throat lozenges but that this is normal and I just have to try and deal with it. Ughh! I still have a week of work left and I cant function with 3 hours of sleep. I feel like I am a walking zombie right now. I just hope I dont have another night like last night!
I hope everyone elses new year had a better start than mine!

Aww I'm so sorry your going through this! I know its terrible. OB is right though not much that can be done. Do try and prop up with pillows and drinking milk helped my heartburn while pregnant and I had loads of it. Feel better.
ReplyDeleteUgh, that sounds terrible! I understand the heartburn, but that throwing up sounds so bizarre! Did you eat something unusual?
ReplyDelete(((HUGS))) Your night sounds AWFUL! I hope you feel better soon so you can enjoy the last part of your pregnancy. It's hard when you can't take a whole lot of medication to make you feel better. Take care hun

ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better soon!
I cannot believe how far along you are!
So sorry you brought in the new year sick. That sucks! As far as the sore throat goes, I love those Ha.l.ls Fru.it B.reez.ers. The berry flavour is really good and that's the 1st thing I reach for when I get a sore throat. Now, I can't really help you on the heartburn part(never been pg), but sounds to me like baby's gonna have a lot of hair!
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon!
I am so sorry. Is it the heartburn that was making you throw up? I am hoping you get some sleep soon. (Hugs)
ReplyDeleteHave you tried taking Tums round the clock?? That seems to help me a lot. They are safe to take.
ReplyDeleteDang! I'm sorry that you are having that bad of heartburn, I did too and they told me the wives tale about baby having a lot of hair and both of mine had heads full of hair!
ReplyDeleteHope you get some relief soon.. BTW, my dr gave me Gaviscon which is stronger than tums, but taste so much worse, kinda like eating an alkaseltzer tablet...
hugs!!!! feel better soon! i used to have to sleep sitting up sometimes. it is no fun! all worth it though, right? :)
ReplyDeleteOh no! I remember those nights and they were ~NO~ fun! It was horrible! I hope your nights get better! Hang in there, almost done! Unfortunately, the sleep issues don't get any better after the baby! :/
