I know this is nothing to do with it but it kinda is, is the old wives tale true the more Heartburn you have the more hair your baby has?
and Rennie worked for my mum.

Like smjemkg said.. avoid acidic foods and drinks

ZANTAC, ZANTAC, ZANTAC!!! I started getting it early with this pregnancy too, and at 11 weeks I asked for it because it helped when I was pregnant with Elijah. It's AWESOME!!! I've only had it maybe two times since in the last 3, almost 4 weeks. Try to avoid foods that will make it worse, like tomato sauces, or acidic things like orange juice...I hope it gets better soon!!!

thanks ladys!!! i have tried the soft chews they only work for like 20 mins then its back:(  i know it cant be gallstones because i had my galblatter taken out almost 2 years ago!!!  im really hopin this will not get any worse or be able to figure out something to work!

I was diagnosed with GURD when I was 12. It was really bad at th first of my pregnancy went away for a few weeks and now it's back in third trimester worse than ever!

Rolaids, tums, Prilosec none of that stuff works. I take Zantac twice a day. It helps most the time but I still have sever presure and burning sometimes.

Good luck with finding something that works for you.

The doctors and I have all thought Ive been having episodes of acid reflux all throughout my pregnancy.. until recently I was hospitalize and found out all this time its been gallstones.

Rolaids soft chews are good and Zantac worked wonders.

The only thing I have found that helps with my heartburn/acid reflux are the rolaids softchews.  Have you tried those?
