When you're in your third trimester, it doesn't matter what you do. You're going to get heartburn.

Mexican food is sure to cause it!

Simultaneous temper tantrums?  You betcha!

Husbandly antics?  That too.

Dirty dishes in the sink?  That'll do it too.

And let's not forget the biggest culprit:

Water.

I never did have heartburn when I was pregnant. Everyone said I was weird.

I love it.

I had real bad heartburn with my first son. Milk did wonders for me.

Oh yes, in my third trimester I was eating several tums a day because of the terrible heartburn/acid reflux... I couldn't even sleep lying down some nights because it was really bad..

You pegged that one right! I remember how even the thought of eating some foods gave me heartburn. Water was high on the list too.
Yep. I had never suffered heartburn in my life until my first pregnancy. Everything gave it to me.

Hang in there girlfriend. For the temper tantrums I have even thought of investing in some ear plugs!! That could always help! ha ha ha

This really brought back memories. You left out the part about constipation or are you among the lucky few who avoids that issue? And...well, other things that come along with that problem. The whole system just seems to go haywire.

With my first one I swear I got heartburn from breathing. I was predicting that the baby would come milky white from the Mylanta I kept drinking.

Shannon - that's what all my aunts told me and he had a ton of it.

Great photo essay. I didn't have much heartburn with one but I did with the other.

LOL, and what doesn't? take care!

I don't know how true the hair thing is, but both of mine had a lot of hair and I had a lot of heartburn...

Maybe this baby will be the hairiest of all!
