Acid Reflux/Heartburn HELP!

I'm 32 weeks and have been having the worst acid reflux and heart burn. I told my Midwife and she said Prilosec I think or it could've been Pepcid. I forgot and am not sure which one. Does anyone know?

I'm 32 weeks also and I have the worst heartburn I've ever had every single day. I take tums if it gets really bad, but mostly I drink milk to help with the acid. I don't like to take medicine unless I have to, just a personal preference.

Eating smaller meals through out the day and staying away from spicy and greasy foods will help... tums also

I take 150 mg of Zantac twice a day it does wonders.

I'm 35 weeks and started taking Zantac.  It's been my savior since tums wasn't helping at all. Highly recommend it.

I take omeprazole which I think is the off brand Prilosec. And I'm also allowed to take Pepcid twice a day. It really helps. Don't keep all symptoms down and I still have to watch What I eat but it's definitely better than being on nothing.

I have always done tums but they are now only working for about an hour.
