9 weeks pregnant/8 months post op severe stomach upset

[KittyFromBC 6]

Hi,

Just wondering of anyone else has had really bad heartburn ( I actually went to the hospital because I thought I might be having a heart attack). I also have had frothing come back and stomach pain in general...

This is my second pregnancy and things were never this horrible the first time around. Maybe just getting older or bad luck I don't know...

Is this normal for a sleever?

It sounds worse than normal but I had to resume my PPI once I got pregnant, too.

If you're not on it, you should be. If your symptoms are that bad, your doc should be writing you a prescription that's safe for the duration of your pregnancy. I'm back on omeprazole (generic Prilosec) and need to take it every day or I'm very uncomfortable.

As for stomach pain, I would wait to see if a PPI addresses that for you, and if not, get in to see your surgeon or PCP for that. I do not have stomach pain, though I have had to re-learn my capacity while pregnant and I did have a heck of a time with morning sickness.

Good luck,

Thanks so much for your comments I went to the dr today and was put back on a ppi (omeprazole) as well. I started taking it this morning and I already feel better.... such a relief...
