Heartburn relief at last

Now that I am 39 weeks pregnant I am a very relieved woman! Most people at this stage of pregnancy are pleased because they are so close to having their child, but for me it is much more of a relief to realise that my heartburn has finally gone away! This terrible affliction has haunted me for the past three months like nothing else on earth! It was there when I went to sleep, it was there when I woke up, and if I ate positively anything with a fat content, I would feel as if my stomach was in my throat! The one thing it did achieve was to get me to eat healthily for the last three months of my pregnancy!

Don’t get me wrong, of course I am desperate to have this child, but really bad heartburn can make you wish that you never got pregnant in the first place! It really is that bad! IU think it is also the fact that a lot of women get their heart burn nearly as soon as their morning sickness has stopped! It really is one thing after another during a pregnancy, but now that we have finally reached the good bit, I am so excited about meeting our new child! It is amazing to think that within a week I am going to be holding a brand new life form in my arms, and for that I would endure any amount of heartburn.
