I get bad heartburn and SEVERE acid reflux to the point where some nights ill wake up gagging or some nights I wont get any sleep at all. The only tums that temporarily work for me r the 1000 ones. Milk doesn't work for me either sometimes ice cream will help the HB but not the acid reflux.  It doesn't matter what I eat or drink the acid reflux is a constant all day   annoyance.  I'm hoping it goes away right when baby comes! Lol

I had to do that too, i couldnt eat after half 6/7pm or i would get really bad heartburn at night! I found that panting like i was having a conraction helped with the pain of it! I lived on antacids during my pregnancy and they are safe to take.

The only cure is birth as the other lady said unfortunately :(

I have it bad too, so I started propping my head up at bed time for at least the first two hours, my doc said zantac was safe so I bought some. I was walking up about 15 minutes after bed running for the toilet cuz everything was coming back up. I'm convinced as well water was causing allot of my problems cuz I wouldn't eat any where near bed time. All liquids are cut off by 7 now too!

With my first I had horrible heart burn, I swore that even water caused it. The only thing that helped a tiny bit was maalox, I drank it all the time. Oh and the other thing that took it away completely...birth:) oh and I slept half way sitting up for the last two months of the pregnancy.

Do you have a problem with high blood pressure? The reason I ask is because of the sodium in the suggestion I'm about to make. Try a swig of pickle juice. It worked for me and the theory is because it introduces. the acid into your stomach telling it to stop creating more. The only other thing I can suggest is watch the portions at night and prop yourself up so your head is above your stomach. Good luck!
