Help, is this a pregnancy side effect?

For the last few days I have been having this symptom that I never had
before being pregnant, and I was wondering if it could be one of those
odd pregnancy side effects. I have this burning sensation deep in my
throat as though I am about to burp up something very acidic. I am not
nauseous at all, and I have not thrown up, but the feeling is just there
in the bottom of my throat irritating the heck out of me, and sometimes
making me want to throw up. If this is a pregnancy side effect, is
there a simple remedy for it?

Yes. It's called heartburn. Eat some tums. :-)

Oh, so that's what heartburn is, I have always wondered! Sheesh, its
annoying! Thanks, I will chew on some tums!

Sounds like gastric reflux. An antacid will cure it for you.
Tums, Mylanta, Pepto Bismol, or whatever your doctor recommends,
taken after meals.

I read recently that Pepto Bismol contains aspirin,
so if you're avoiding aspirin for any reason, avoid
Pepto Bismol, too. (Or at least check the label to
make sure.)

welcome to the world of heartburn
Tums is a good option. If it doesn't work, try Zantac.

Heartburn. For me chalky tablets don't work. Liquid things like Mylanta are
better.

Thanks, but I preferred the non-heartburn world!

I got heartburn for the first time when I was pregnant with DD ... I hate it
worse than morning sickness.
The other ting that works for me is taking care about my sleeping position
.... sleeping on my right side seems to make it worse where sleeping on my
left side means I don't wake up with that terrible feeling in my throat.
Aside from tums, a glass of milk works wonders for me (although I have read
the theory that dairy makes heartburn worse ... but it definitely makes
mine a lot better).

You know, my grandmother told me this years ago (about the glass of
milk) when I had an ulcer and my stomach was always upset in addition
to *wicked* heartburn and to this day it works better than anything
I've tried -- OTC or Rx. I get a nice big burp and the heartburn &
reflux is gone...(till the next time)
