Up at 3 am with major heartburn i wanna cry... Oh and let's not forget about the lower back pains😭😭😭

Oh man I remember that! Keep a crate of tums with you always. Also, something I learned that helped was try not to have any water or beverages while you’re eating. The extra liquid makes it easier for the acid reflux. So try to let your food digest a bit and drink water in between meals.

😓 wait until you're 8 months even worse.

@kimpower ohhh noo cant wait😣

@acrdrgz awesome thank you... I've never heard of that

@bbymontoya, so the way it was explained to me - the opening of your esophagus gets weak/loose during the end of pregnancy (it’s actually a process that happens all over your body - basically relaxing things up so you’ll be able to give birth). And because the esophagus is not as tightly closed off from the stomach, it’s easier for what’s in your stomach to get into your esophagus and cause heartburn. When you eat, your stomach produces extra digestive juices, and when you drink fluids with that, it makes you fuller and makes your stomach contents more liquid which increases the chances of that getting up and causing heartburn. So also, it’s good not to lie down for a little bit after eating. I know! Easier said than done. When I was pregnant I basically always wanted to be lying down.

@bbymontoya, probably more info than you need haha - I just always liked to know WHY my body was being so unkind to me. There’s a reason for everything.

@acrdrgz wow thank You... That explains alot.. I have it all the time even drinking water 😡

@bbymontoya 😰 the closer the due date the worse the pains lmao
