Heartburn from hell

So I was taking Prolosec OTC because my heartburn was so constant but...my body adjusted and it stopped working. OB recommended Zantac 150 and it only works for like 3 hours each 12 hour dose.

I know the heartburn is 90% giant baby (and I mean giant...my kids are 11lb newborns) pushing on my stomach causing this but I need something to get through the next 28 days.

Crazy home remedy, but this is what I did with my first.  I had crazy bad heartburn, and tums did nothing (I was being super weird about taking medication while pregnant with him) so I took a tsp of baking soda and warm water.  Freaking disgusting but worked every time.  Huge belch a few minutes later and felt instantly better.  Sometimes if it got real bad, id do a full tbsp, but works well

I take retadine tablets morning and night. You need a script from your doctor.  I've tried all the other OTC stuff and NOTHING works. Ask your doctor about it. It's a cat A I believe
