Ah the joys of indigestion. I am coming up on 35 weeks pregnant. The last few weeks I have been feeling the pains of indigestion. Oi! Somedays it is not so bad, but I have become friends with antacid. This is against my way of thinking and living. But desperate times call for certain measures.

I awoke to a burning sensation in my chest and throat. I got up fast and felt like Frankenstein as I made my way to the bathroom. I never throw up, which is a curse, but I felt that this time could be an exception. It wasn’t. But, I still had enough upset to do damage at the back of my throat.

I am sooo tired and need to sleep but I can’t lie down. I tried propping myself up with pillows but just received another round of insult from my stomach. I just finished off a cup of loose leafed mint tea which I hope helped.

I tried reading up on this problem and wasn’t able to find much information. I think I need to be more strict about what and how much I eat. Today, I ate a bit adventurously for me. I wish I could take it back. I keep slightly falling asleep as I write this.

Wish me luck on navigating the path of food, sustenance and comfort.
