Whoops! I forgot to do a couple updates! I’ll backtrack.
So, I tried the Zantac, which made me sick. I then started
to get real big problems with gagging on silent reflux over the weekend, with
things coming to a head Sunday night/Monday morning in Week 7. I had little
sleep, couldn’t keep anything down and I fainted several times. I had a
doctor’s appointment on the Monday. The doctor gave me a shot of Maxalon and a
script, and the nurse suggested Gaviscon for the silent reflux, which has worked
a treat. After heavy doses of both for two days, I started feeling better and
only took them as needed, which was about once a day for a last 3 weeks.
I got bloods done on Monday (just gone), and since then all
morning sickness appears to have disappeared. I still get the odd wave of
nausea, but it disappears as soon as I eat. I’m still getting reflux, but as
long as I keep on top of it with Gaviscon, I remain feeling hunky dory. Of
course, I am also compiling a list of foods that give me heartburn. Before I
got pregnant, I had trouble with pies and sausage rolls, but now my list
expands to cheese as well. I can still eat chocolate without too many issues.
I’m feeling particularly chubby today, even though I’ve only
put on a total of 500g since I fell pregnant. Apparently (according to Baby
Centre) my uterus now fills my pelvis – and I can feel it when I’m standing –
and my baby is now a foetus, and the size of an olive. Apparently, the baby will double in size over
the next 3 weeks!
