Congratulations, Megane! Some people get good results from acid blockers, like Zantac or Prilosec. You might also benefit from a bit of Lomotil or Imodium, but don't overdo it. Your mileage may vary.

Have you had a bad reaction to fasting in the past, or are you just acting with an abundance of caution?

Another possible suggestion is the frequently discussed lemon water.  Done swear by it and some say no difference  May or may not work for you �� ��

Thanks Scott F and Bobish, 

I might try the zantac last thing before I go to sleep and maybe the lemon water in the morning. How much lemon needs to be in it to be effective? 

Yeah Scott F, whenever I don't eat or empty when I should it ends up being BAD!

I am sure they will have something at the hospital they can give, just wanted to try and avoid it in the first place.

Thanks!

Hello, Megane. If I'm having a glass of lemon water, I'll squeeze a small wedge of lemon into it. If I'm storing a jug of water in the fridge, I'll slice half a lemon into slices, pierce the slices with a fork and stuff the slices into the jug to steep and drink all day. It's also a matter of taste how much you want the tangy taste. You could add (fresh) mint or cucumber for flavour. A squirt bottle with nozzle will help ease butt burn too. I know a lot of new moms who use it for hygiene. Best wishes to you and Baby!
