Anybody have any idea why?

Sooo for the past couple of days, I have been having a nasty experience with food. Last night I ate dinner and about 4 or 5 hours later, I started to feel queasy -- like the food was bubbling around in my stomach. By 3 am I was at the toilet throwing up. So today I ate my lunch slowly around 1:00. Almost immediately my stomach started to feel upset. Its not like the morning sickness nausea but almost like the food is staying on my stomach and pushing up into my chest -- like it keeps wanting to push itself out. I took a couple of gasx and that relieved some of the pressure. A little while later I ate some rice and almost immediately it came back up.

Does anybody know what this is? Is it some kind of reflux or something? Why would it just start suddenly? Should I be concerned??

 

I think that is pretty common in late pregnancy. Your stomach is getting so squeezed, sometimes there is nowhere for the food to go. You could ask your doctor for suggestions -- a reflux med might help. I never really had that, but I did have heartburn and/or reflux (I was never sure which was which) and she told me to take one of the OTC reflux meds every day.

 

Well I have had something similar happening. I've noticed that since I'm on bedrest, any air I swallow when eating or drinking seems to stay in my stomach, and I often burp when I get up to go to the bathroom. Sometimes I can't seem to burp before going to sleep, and then I wake up almost vomiting. Could that be part of the problem for you?

 

I haven't been able to burp laying down for weeks (like 10). I feel sickly until I sit up or walk to the bathroom in which case I do burp. I feel like a newborn! I've also had some nausea recently, but mine was heartburn related- I go to sleep and wake up 1/2 hr later with acid in my throat. I cough until I throw up a bit :hush: - so gross. I started taking Pepcid AC before bed and have felt much better.

I hope this gets better for you- at least in the 1st trimester you can usually run to the bathroom or not pee a little when you puke! :faint:

I just had this happen to me yesterday/ last night! :angry: I never got so far as throwing up but I was up all night from random sudden horrible reflux...like I've had it intermittently for a while but this went on for hours and was a LOT worse. So sadly I don't know why other than the whole out of room theory, but thought I'd let you know in case misery loves company!

 

Seriously girls -- this is getting bad. I already threw up my first attempt at dinner. I just tried to eat some fruit -- a few grapes and strawberries -- um, they are right at the top of my tummy like they are ready to heave up and go. Burping is completely out of the question. If I burp, I puke. This is AWFUL!! Its like nothing can go down.

 

:hug: right there with ya! I can sometimes keep it down, other times not. Talk to your doc they may be able to give you some meds or recommend something for it.
