Doctor prescribed gavascon. Tastes awful but I drink it like pop! Works wonders.

I was popping Tums like crazy up until yesterday. My son has been having acid issues & takes Zantac. He said to me, "Mom. Why are you suffering??? I'll give you some of my medicine." Bless his heart. It's working great & he gave me enough to get thru til my c-section on Wednesday.

Tums are safe. You're dr may advise you to take reg Zantac otc and at 34 + weeks you can take prilosec. Just alway's call and touch base with you're dr office first.

I was diagnosed with acid reflux 2 years before I got pregnant , I am 35 weeks and 5 days as well !! :) even though I dont like the smell, drink some milk to help the burning,also tums . You can elevate your head alittle more at night too. I hope that helped you out :) good luck
