Heartburn

I'm currently 27weeks+4days and I'm having really bad heartburn. I feel like the acid in my stomach is in my throat. Did any of you ladies experience this? And whatdo you do to make it better? Usually i try drinking a small glass of milk and it'll help for a couple of minutes but then it just comes back :/

Dr had me take pepcid fo thats what I take from time to time but limit your caffine because it relaxes the stomach and causes heart burn

My doc said follow the label on tums if tums don't work use over the counter zantac...2 tums at night does the trick for me i haven't had to resort to Zantac yet

Knick on wood I haven't had this problem this time around but I think that's only because I am on priloec for other stomach problems. Now my 1st pregnancy starting at 3 months there where nights I thought I was going to die. The only thing that helped was tums & my Dr said if they didn't work after about 45 min go ahead & chew another one. I hope you get some relief soon.

Same here, I use Renee tablets but usually I find thebest way is to eat ssmaller portions so it disgests easier. I'll eat half a sandwich then wait an hour & eat the other half same for dinner etc

I'm going through the same and nothing works. I was drinking rolaids but they will only work for a while just like milk.. And I don't even eat foods that make you get heartburn so I just have to keep dealing with it..
