fireworks,

Hello and congratulations on your choosing to have a new addition to your family.  I hope all works out well for you.

It has been a long time since I went through a pregnancy but I do remember having heartburn however I did not always eat wisely. This was so long ago nobody even talked about GERD.

Here is a link to an article that you may find helpful:

Please do discuss your concern with your OB/GYN as I am sure many women have had this problem so there must be something to offer you as far as a plan going into your pregnancy.

Kindly,

Kitt

Hi there,

The effect of pregnancy hormones can't be predicted really - some women feel fabulous, others not so! I had very bad nausea each time, debilitatingly so and had to take Zantac for reflux. But you may feel really well - there's just no way of knowing! Whatever happens it'll be worth it and it'll have a time frame of approximately 9 months!!

I would advise to get help early on if you are not well - the midwives did nothing for me except tea and sympathy, and I wish I'd seen a consultant earlier, as soon as I was over 12 weeks. I still wonder if the months and months of vomiting caused the trouble I have now!

MMM

Thanks for the replies...

As much as I would want another little one, but with my current condition, I really fear how (pregnancy) will make me be like. It should be a happy thing but I cant help feeling fearful. I felt so hopless at times. :(

I have put off having children because I am still trying to get my reflux under control. It is depressing.
