insomnia & heartburn

....insomnia, heartburn and those middle
of the night charlie horses when I finally
get to sleep. My heartburn medication no
longer works and neither does laying up in
bed. I am sleeping when I get a charlie
horse and am too tired to try the banana
for potassium as once mentioned on these
forums. My insomnia seems like it is now
turning into a manic form of nesting that
I can't do anything about until I move
into our new house next weekend (9 days
from now!).
This heartburn is so bad that my throat
hurts!!! I don't know what else to do. The
doctor told me I am doing everything I
need to do and there isn't much more I can
do.
Sorry, it is 2:00 am and I just needed to
vent about something. My heartburn is
currently killing me and my foot and calf
are still sore from last nights charlie
horse!!
My baby is still doing well (need to add
something positive here!!). For that I am
thankful.

sorry you're having troubles. that's
kinda funny, i was up until 2 am or so
last night too, i was dead tired but just
couldn't get to sleep. And i had killer
heartburn too. i don't know what to tell
you about the heartburn meds not working.
that sucks. i just take tums when i get
it, which is, thankfully, not that often.
i even had hot pickles the other night and
my boyfriend kept telling me i was going
to pay for it later, but nothing happened.
wish i could help you somehow, i know how
much it hurts.  hang in there, not
much longer now!

Aww that stinks. I don't get heartburn
often, but when I have it's a horrible
thing to deal with. So you are moving into
a new house? That would be keeping me up
too because all I would be thinking about
was getting it ready for the baby. I hope
you sleep better tonight. Good luck I hope
you feel better.

with the charlie horse thing it could also
be calcium and magnesium, but dehydration
also plays a part. just so you know. if
you're sick of bananas you could try some
milk or yogurt or something. hope you
feel better soon.

Hey I think the banana thing, You dont
need to eat it right when you have a
charlie horse, it will take hours for the
potassium in the banana to get to your
blood stream and then to your muscles. So
it wont do anything.
Eat the banana before you go to bed...or
have one or 2 throughout the day. The only
way extra potassium could work that fast
is if u had it drippin in an IV.
Hopefully that helps, have you tried
drinking warm milk before bed...that works
for me!

I started taking one Calcium with
magnesium tablet right before bed and that
fixed me all up! Now I never get them.
Also, when you get them (and you prolly
already know this) point your toes up not
down. Down makes it worse.
Hope it gets better for you!

Wow.. I don't feel alone now. The
heartburn is killer! I get it all day now.
It doesnt matter what I eat either. Its so
brutal. As for sleep, I either get lots of
it, or not enough. ugh... 29 days!!!!!!!
If my blood pressure stays up, it could be
sooner than that. Which I think at this
point since baby is fully grown and
developed and everything is working on its
own, I would not mind at all!!!!!!
Good luck with the heartburn girls and the
sleeping. I feel for you!
Mary

is baby still head up? if so, maybe
that's why you're having the heartburn so
bad. hope that baby flips soon or has
flipped already!

YES!! The babies head seems even farther
up - right next to my ribs. Perhaps that
is the reason why my heartburn is so bad.
I never really thought about that before.
I go in to the doctors next wed and I am
now considering the external turning
(whatever it's called). I was so against
it before but these are high risk
pregnancy specialists so they have
probably done it many times. It's just so
strange that he seems to be in the same
position, just a little higher, as he has
been for the past 8 weeks or so. Perhaps
he does flip around and I just don't
notice it???
