Ugh! Heartburn

[mama_b]

It's terrible. I was hoping it wouldn't get this bad this time around. I have heartburn no matter what I eat. I hate popping Pepcid all the time but it's the only thing that works. Just venting!

I know it's coming for me and I dread it. I took pepcid (or some equivalent) during my first two pg's. Both babies were born with heads full of hair, so I'm wondering if there is any truth to that old wives tale and half hoping for a bald baby this time.

I've also always wondered if my babies tendency to have reflux had anything to do with my heartburn during pg or my antacid use. Pepcid is the only thing that would work...Rolaids/Tums only helped for about 5 minutes and gave me an unbelievable thirst.

Have you tried eating fresh papaya or taking papaya capsules? They work wonders for many people. And they're really healthy and natural.

Probably. I had terrible heartburn last time too and my dd was born with a full thick head of hair.
