It's baaaaaaack
I had heard this might happen and I am sad to report that one pregnancy complaint has returned: heartburn.
I discovered this via a rude awakening at 3:30 this morning. I woke up in a panic. I literally shot up out of the bed, kind of like in the movies when someone is having a bad dream. I could feel something horrible in my throat and I felt like I was going to vomit. I took a moment to compose myself before heading for the bathroom. After a minute or two I realized that I wasn't going to vomit. Thank goodness --those of you who know me well know that vomiting is really hard for me. I get very upset and scared and usually cry. A general horrible feeling of loneliness overcomes me and I'm shaken for a while after it happens.
It dawned on me that I was experiencing acid reflux again. . .only it's way worse than when I first blogged about it during week 19. I tried to go back to sleep, elevating my head as much as I could (I've heard that's important when you are dealing with it) and eventually I was able to get some more Zzzs. Sadly, the problem has continued all day today and I'm pretty uncomfortable.
