I'm nearly 27 weeks, everything gives me heartburn- old wives tale is that it means you're baby has hair.... The amount im getting and putting up with my little girl better come out looking like Repunzel haha. I can't even drink milk... Pregnancy has caused me to become lactose intolerant and makes my belly feel even worse. Ergh!!  Heartburn is the worst!

7 wks and its HORRIBLE. It goes into my shoulders, down my stomach. It's bad. Nothing helps. Is there anything besides tums that is more natural and safe during pregnancy that you other mommies use? Tums no longer helps at all and throwing up milk is so gross lol

I didn't get it until about 30 weeks , I'm 38 now && it unfortunately only has gotten worse . Tums helped at the beginning but now that doesn't even work . Just ready for my little man to be here !

I started getting heartburn early in my pregnancy.  I'm 21 weeks now and still have it. It's gotten a bit worse these past 3 days, as if my stomach and throat are constantly burning. I usually drink milk to help my heartburn and occasionally take tums.

Omeprozole is what my dr prescribed me. I had terrible heartburn but taking the Omeprozole every day really helped I haven't had heartburn in weeks. You can get it over the counter or ask your Dr for a prescription.

I'm 21 weeks too and have been having heartburn for a while. Tums usually helps me.
