Severe indigestion in 3rd trimester
Did anyone start to get severe indigestion in their 3rd trimester? I have heard of it before...but my question...does it usually last until you deliver? I think I know the answer to this, but I would LOVE to hear a different answer

Re: Severe indigestion in 3rd trimester
I had terrible heartburn throughout my pregnancy but, just my luck, it got worse as soon as I hit the 3rd trimester. I talked to the dr. about it and he said to take Pepcid AC. If that didn't work then he would prescribe me something. Luckily the Pepcid has worked like a charm. However, now that I am in my last week (or days..I hope) the heartburn has gotten WORSE! I can't lay flat at night. I have to sleep propped up on pillows so I don't puke in my mouth (so nasty). It's a pretty constant burning feeling, even when I take the Pepcid.
Sorry I don't have my good news for you

Re: Severe indigestion in 3rd trimester
you mean diahrea following eating virtually anything? yeah, i had that in the early 30's weeks.... then it paradoxically went away as fast as it came 
sometime, I still get it. it will last 90 min following eating, and then it disappears.
go figure........

Re: Severe indigestion in 3rd trimester
I had horrible heartburn with DD and took Zantac - which became my best friend. With this pregnancy I get it once and a while, but not like with her so far. There were a few times I woke up in the middle of the night coughing because the reflux went into my lungs.
I would ask your dr. if you can take something - it makes a world of difference!

Re: Severe indigestion in 3rd trimester
Yup, this has to be the WORST part of my pregnancy. I never knew this was a big issue until it started happening and they it seems like everyone has it to some extent. I finally asked my doctor about it after Tums and Pepcid stopped working. She prescribed Nexium and it has been a life saver. I still have mild indigestion at night, but the acid is no longer there so I just feel really full. The only good news is that it goes away as soon as you deliver. I can't wait!!!
