Heartburn from Hell!

Does anyone have tips for relieving heartburn?

I woke up last night with the most intense burning sensation in my chest and throat EVER. My bf got me a big glass of milk which seemed to help some. Tums don't work for me. I drink lots of water.. I dont know what to do.

I'm 27 weeks... it's just going to get worse isnt it?

Thanks!

My doctor suggested  Mylanta(?). It really helped me.

Hi wild blue, prior to pregnancy I had severe heartburn and of course when I found out I was expecting I stopped taking all meds. I lived on tums daily.. the heartburn was so bad. Well turned out the medication I was takin prior to baby is totally 100% safe during pregnancy, Its call protonix. I take 1 pill in the morning.. and no matter what.. No heartburn @ all! God it was such a relief.

Hope this helps..

Yeah I had heart burn so bad too that I almost threw up.  I ate tumms and rolaids like they were candy.  I told my doctor finally that I couldn't take it no more it's almost like I couldn't even eat cause it was so bad.  I don't remember what exactly it was that she gave to me but it had like four pills to a pack and half the pill was pink and the other half was white.  OMG it helped wonders I even gave my bf the father of my child some of him cause he also got my bad heart burns lol ha ha he felt what i felt for once lol.  Just tell your doc that you eat tumms and rolaids like crazy and it doesn't help at all and ask what he can do.  Good luck!
