Did this happens to you?

I'm only 5 weeks , I'm due in September and I'm having really bad heart burn at this very moment , isn't it way too early for this ? What can I do to stop it ? Did this happen to any of you guys ?

I'm five weeks too and it was nothing but intense heartburn every time I ate or drank anything until a few days ago. Everywhere I've read says that tums are perfectly okay to take. I've gone through a bottle already so thankfully the heartburn has considerably lessened.

Your not suppose to take tums when your pregnant . I have really bad heart burn and I'm 38 weeks.  It probably started around 20 weeks . But my dr gave me a prescription for Zantac and it helps a lot . I know you can get the knock off brand at like Sam's Club or maybe walmart .

Actually my doctor was the one who recommended it for heartburn...it's like literally a pinch of baking soda in 8 oz of water. I did it my entire pregnancy and my baby its fine. I'm pretty sure if I wasn't supposed to take it, they wouldn't tell me I could...but alright lol

Not too early for it. Really any of the symptoms can come and go throughout your pregnancy.  I had heart burn around 16-17 weeks and then again at 29-current (31+2)  ive found eating less acidic food helps and I keep tums on me where ever I go cause it just come on out of nowhere

Yeah, I'm around 5 weeks too and the heartburn, omg. I found that chewing tums is pretty much all I can do to settle my stomach. Congrats BTW!
