constant throat clearing pls help!!

Hi! Congratulations on your pregnancy! 

I would suggest calling your midwife about this - they should be able to advise you best about this. 

Mid section fat is known to be responsible for GERD reflux, those who don't have it can suffer from only silent reflux. I know this because there were times I had belly fat and time I didn't, so I imagine having a baby can cause the same effect. Basically the fat (or baby, in your case) pushes the guts and stomach contents upward, more noticably when sitting down or basically bending your body is a similar position to sitting. I found it helpful to sit on a chair that leans backwards, like those office chairs, sitting upright doesn't help. I guess you'll have to coupe with it for a few more months.

Maisie, I really do think you have answered every one of your own questions. In Physics it's the good quality of the questions that bring good answers. Read through your questions and there are the answers and all answered by your excellent, good self. Best Tony

Congrats on your pregnancy
