Upset Stomache-

[Anonymous]

This is actually my second (successful) pregnancy and I cant even remember what I felt like three years ago ...I am about 7 1/2 weeks-although my OB thinks I may be closer to 8 1/2 weeks waiting for a second sonogram-either way I am not complaining as this child is truly a gift!! But I feel so yucky...My stomache feels upset and nothing settles it-Is this normal? I dont remember this with my son...
Will tums help?? Can I take tums?? and I also feel BIGGER and like I am already stretching?? Can this be possible so early?? I have had two MCs so I am kind of paranoid too...

I am in the same boat as you - - 9 weeks though. I have been told Tums are ok to take, but I hate to tell you, they have not really helped me. Make sure you stay sitting up after eating for at least an hour. Also, ginger ale/ oyster crackers seem to help a bit. (Someone told me ginger itself would help as well.) I would love any recs from others.

My midwife told me to take papaya enzymes, which has helped a lot! You can get a big bottle from Whole Foods and take 2 or 3 tablets to help an upset stomach, daily if necessary. I also put ginger in my tea and that helped as well.
