Heartburn... it just sucks



It doesn't matter what I eat or how little I cannot get away from this heartburn.  Luckily the old wives tales about heartburn severity being related to the amount of hair your child would have.  If this were true my children would come out looking like wolf boy from the tabloid covers.

I cut out chocolate after being warned by my doctor that it causes heartburn. The list of foods I avoid is very long and I yet still suffer from heartburn.  The only thing that give instant relief is a small glass of milk.  Too bad I am also slightly lactose intolerant.. Damned if I do and damned if I don't.  The approved medicines to use make me nauseous. (but only during pregnancy)

Luckily I only have a few weeks left til I am holding my sweet baby boy in my arms. Of course then I will be dealing with sore nipples, lack of sleep and getting out of my pj's only on good days.  Thank goodness I am a SAHM. I don't know how working mom's manage to be functional.  I look back on when I had my oldest girls and wonder how I managed it.

Until then.. dealing with the heartburn and actually looking forward to sleepless nights. (like my tiny pregnant bladder is not already preparing me for those nights)
