@simplelivingnow Mylanta doesn't seem to be available in Canada and the closest equivalent (Maalox) is not suggested for pregnant women.
For now, she's been taking Gas-X, Dicyclomine (prescribed) and Pepcid.
@nelehjr Thank you so much for sharing. Honestly, just knowing that others have had similar experiences is helping a ton, especially after the doctor basically said "too bad, nothing we can do"
@nelehjr It wakes her up at night and lasts 30-60 minutes of intense pain (7-9 on scale of 10), then usually subsides. I always get up and stay with her to make sure she doesn't fall, because this really weakens her and she could fall easily. Warm pads help a bit, but we don't want to keep them...
@micaelamicaela Worst thing sometimes is she feels like she has gas and diarrhea but just can't get it out, somehow (stupid human body). So if you look up those symptoms, everything would suggest eating fiber. But then you have gas and bloating and fibers can be the problem. Sigh, why are we...
Alright guys, I'm not looking for medical advice here, just really hoping to look a little bit outside the box, because I must have read every website on pregnancy pains and still haven't found a way to make it easier for my wife.
2 weeks ago, we found out that wife is pregnant with our first...
