Im 26 weeks pregnant and for the past 2-3 weeks ive had terrible reflux. I lay down and seconds later i have to quickly sit up cause i have that acid taste/feeling coming up my throat and it makes me throw up nearly every time. I throw up anywhere between 2 and 4 times a night, im literally getting no sleep or have to sleep sitting up, because as soon as i lay down im up throwing up or feel like im going to. Is there anything that can help ease this? I miss that thing called sleep and throwing my lungs up all through the night isnt much fun either

Oh yuck, you poor thing. Off to the dr with you. There are dozens of remedies that are safe in pregnancy, you don't mention what you've tried but avoiding trigger foods, making sure you're not too full, eat early, elevating your upper half can all help. I found that fruit tingles (of all things!!) helped me but yours sounds pretty severe. Then there's stuff like Zantac, Gaviscon etc that may be safe to take. Check with dr or pharmacist.
Definitely, doctors or the very least pharmacist.
I found sitting up, I was propped up by lots of pillows helped a lot.
