Easy cure for heartburn

[momof16]

Put a heaping spoon of baking soda in your mouth, take a gulp of water, swish it around and swallow it.  Works like a charm!  My dad grew up doing this for heartburn.  Of course, he also uses a glob of Vicks Vaporub on his tongue for sore throat!!! Yuk.  But it works.

I sure wouldn't make it a habit of using the baking soda. It doesn't sound all that healthy for a pregnant woman. I definitely would consult my doctor before using it. Just the sodium alone can cause water retention.
