Like Kissmommy said... keep away from fatty foods etc.. zantac helps 4 sure! But if your looking for something more natural.. try the mint leaves or chewing on ginger root (thats what my doctor recommended).

1/2 teaspoon of baking soda with a little bit of water, tastes awful, but it really does work.

I had it really bad the last month. Kept fat intake down and it helped immensely. Avoid caffeine if you aren't already, & eat bland foods. Don't eat within an hr before laying down. Prop yourself up if you can when going to bed... And the zantac as mentioned by the other ladies when all else fails :) gl !

My heartburn started at 24weeks. You can try Tums but it didn't help me so my doctor recommended regular strength PepcidAC twice a day. It's been a lifesaver, I'm almost 37weeks and still take it everyday :)

I haven't tried this before but a friend swears that a tablespoon of vinegar is supposed to even out the acid in your stomach. It might be worth a try. Good luck.

My doctor put me on Zantac since my first trimester and it has been a miracle drug for me. You can try over the counter Zantac and see if it works
