I am 12 weeks pregnant.. and I have a feeling in my throat as if there was something stuck (ie: a grain of rice).. it moves, but does not actually go anywhere. What is this? and is it normal?

i'd like to know the same thing. i had this the other day but luckily it went awayy.. i think it might be from eating a large amount of something too fast.

I have that right now (7 1/2 weeks) but I think it is from the nausea. yuck.

If any of you other ladies are having this, join the club! I too have been having this (especially after large meals), since the beginning of my pregnancy (16 weeks 6 days today)

I am 23 weeks and just started getting this a week ago. I could be wrong, but I believe what you're describing is indigestion.

I have this and its definately not indigestion. When i was 8 weeks with my daughter i started feeling a hairball-like feeling in my throat. It eventually turned into like a growth. Like a kernal of corn i cant swallow. I went to a specialist and had a camera ran down my throat and nthing was found. So i think whatever it was was flesh colored. After i had my daughter it went way to barely noticable everyonce in a while. Well now in 15 weeks and right at 8 weeks the exact thing came back. An ultrasound showed cysts and nodules. I dont know if that has anything to do with it or not. I have another throat ultrasound next month.

I have the same thing. It is the most uncomfortable thing ever! Try drinking a lot of fluids and that might help.

I have the same thing. It is totally related to indigestion. Try eating less at meals and if it gets real annoying try Maalox. It is your food coming partially up with heartburn. Sometimes I just get the lump feeling and sometimes the heartburn. I try to avoid drinking large amounts with my meals because it makes it worse.

In my case it is not indigestion what so ever. It is a lump in the back of my throat. 2nd ultrasound showed the same as the 1st. Cysts are still there, but arent getting any bigger. They shrnk in siz to the point of being barely noticable after my last pregnancy and im hoping they do the same this time. I do not want thyrois surgery!

*meant shrank in size and *thyroid surgery. Also i have indigestion as well. There is a major difference between the two. What i have is the feeling of a kernal of corn in my throat that i cannot swallow. Its there 24/7. I had severe morning sickness and feeling it in my throat made me throw up even more. At least i know now i wasnt crazy.
