Acid reflux

[Meterspichel]

Ok so I'm 22 weeks and I continue to have acid reflux mainly at night, tums help normally. People have told me that when you have acid reflux while you're pregnant it means that your baby's growing hair... Is that true or just a wise tale? And will it eventually go away as I get further along or no? Because if so my baby might be named rapunzel lol

I had this so bad During the day and at night I would wake up crying cause it burned so bad, I've thrown up a couple times because of it and it's even worse! My OB told me to take Prilosec OTC every night before I go to bed and it' works wonders!! I tried tums but they only worked for an hour or so and it came back just as bad. Hope you find something that works for you cause it's no fun

I have had horrible acid reflux all along this pregnancy and the last one too. I am 25+2 today.
I have found that having alkalising foods helps a great deal, if only for a few hours - examples are salads(raw cucumber, carrots, green bell pepper, raddish), a lotttt of lemon juice. I keep having fresh lemon water now and then. Contrary to the belief, lemons do contain citrix acid, but the moment a lemon is digested by our body, the residue is alkaline in nature, so it counters the acidity.

I still have acid reflux almost everyday at 26 weeks :( Someone suggested garlic tablets but i'm too scared to try it
