Nothing says relief like Tylenol and Maalox
So Tums doesn't cut it any more apparently. Friday night I made the mistake of having Pizza Hut Pizza - and starting about 3 hours later had some pretty bad stomach pain - woke up Saturday morning with even worse pain. Eventually at some point the pain went away until Saturday night. I thought that whole thing was Pizza Hut's revenge (which I am sure is a part of it). Then Sunday was the same thing - got the pain back any time I ate. So, I decided to go to smaller meals with snacks in between to help with the pain. Yesterday was the worse yet. I felt fine in the morning. The longer the day went the stronger the pain got - made it through the day and drove home. Got home and didn't even feel like eating - just laid down and tried to stretch out so the pain would go away - eventually my hubby was worried and had me call the doctor's office. The doctor on call called back within seconds of my calling. She asked me some questions and eased my fear that anything was wrong and suggested Tylenol and Maalox. Suggested Maalox before eating so hopefully the pain never even starts. Well last night I still had the pain - but I had already eaten and took the Maalox after eating - today I did things the correct way and so far so good (knock on wood). These doctor's are amazing that just with asking me a bunch of questions over the phone she told me just the right thing to do - I could kiss her! Apparently I am at the stage where everything is being pushed around and my stomach is trying to revolt against that. As my mom said last night - it seems like every step along the way your body is trying to prepare you not just physically but mentally as well for having a baby. I guess my good nights sleep may be gone for a long while (until long after the baby arrives), but at least I might be ready for it.
