Will gerd go away after the baby is born?



I鈥檓 15 weeks pregnant and my doctor told me I have Gerd , saying my vale isn鈥檛 closing or something like that. It鈥檚 very depressing to wake up in the middle of the night because my chest is hurting or on fire and every morning I throw up stomach acid 鈥測ellow stuff鈥?cause I can鈥檛 stop the gagging reflex. This should be my happy time but instead I half to force on forcing myself to eat because its hard and everything makes me sick.. The doctor put me on zantac and carafate. Has anyone ever had this and will it go away after the baby is born because I didn鈥檛 have it before?

Yes it will! Its amazing how fast it goes away too! I had GERD when I was pregnant with my twins. It is from all the extra pressure. I had to sleep with pillows propped behind my head and even that still didnt help. I took Nexium, and that didnt even help it all the way. I also threw up the stomach acid..isnt that the worst!!!!! Everyone would say I had heartburn when I was pregnant too....I wanted to scream this isnt just regular run of the mill heartburn! I am in misery. All I can tell you is watch what you eat...i had to do away with pizza and spagetti...well anything with a tiny bit of spice or flavor was gone!
OH and something that helped me in the middle of the night when i the stomach acid would come up my throat and it would just burn and burn was PEANUT BUTTER. It is thick enough where if you eat a few spoonfuls it would coat my throat a bit so the burning would stop and I could go back to sleep. Its worth a try.
Yes ohh yes girl it will get better dont worry Source(s): Ive been there with my twin pregnancy
mom of 7 month olds!
It should. Pregnancy is really hard on your body! I have four children, my youngest is 2 months old and I am so happy I am not pregnant anymore! I had severe acid reflux with my last pregnacy and I never had it with my other pregnancies as bad. I was on zantac, and I could tell when it was 11 hours since I last took it since my abdomen and throat would hurt so bad. I had to take the 150mg, 75 mg would not last long enough for me. I find it actually works better with food, without would be painful I was surprised. 2 days after I gave birth the pain was 100% gone!! I actually sleep much more now then when pregnant since I had to sleep sitting up for the past 4 months the pain in my throat was so bad before, don't worry it will get better. If you eat small amounts constantly that might help. I had to have a Carnation Intant Breakfast drink upon awakening since I was too tired to swallow much food but I needed something in my stomach right away.
