The perks of pregnancy....NOT! Posted: 01-23-08 01:42am
So I am 5 weeks pregnant..I have the worst
heartburn everrrrrrr and I cant even sleep
right now its so bad! Also I cant stop
peeing and I am getting so so so
annoyed..my boyfriend is avoiding me
because he's afraid I might just bite his
head off! haha. How do/did you all deal
with these things when you were/are
pregnant?! Im stressin already and I still

Rolaids soft chews or mylanta for the
heartburn, saved my life many times lol.
As for the peeing, it really can't be
helped, it will get better and then worse
again. Best advice I can give is don't
drink so much in the evening. Oh and
invest in a body pillow for between the
knees, its like heaven when your tummy
starts to grow.

LOL I know what you mean about your bf. I
broke up with my fiance 3 times within the
first few months of my pregnancy. Hormones
can be a real prick. I never had
heartburn, so I can't help you there. Congrats on your
pregnancy.

I think being pregnant always makes me
softer lol. My mothering instinct goes
into overdrive and i'm trying to hold my
10 year old like a baby haha. My husband
brought me home a Yorkie puppy this
weekend O.O so now i'm babying him and
Kylie (as much as she'll let me lol).

Ugh, I totally sympathize with the
heartburn!! I've had acid reflux since I
was thirteen, and I have to take a
Pantaloc everyday on an empty stomach. But
I don't know how that works when you're
pregnant.

No its not Katrina! Weeks 16-30 are all
candy but before and after are not fun.
Rolaid soft chews are delicious, Ive also
discovered I like the mint rolaids, they
taste like pillow mints.
The peeing will get better for a bit but
Ive already gotten back to peeing every 30
mins and im 29 weeks.
Congrats on your
pregnancy.
