acid reflux

Does anyone know of any over the counter medicine that safe to take while pregnant and having acid reflux? Ive been using tums and im not gonna lie it did help out alot at first but it seems since my beebee has dropped my reflux has gotten worse. Believe me i was looking forward to her dropping to relieve some of the reflux but unfortunately it hasn't. Thanks.

My doctor told me Zantac or Pepcid AC were safe during pregnancy.

Milk of magnesia is pregnancy safe and you can get it in liquid form in different flavours.

I use zantac once a day and I also find not lying down completely helps. I use lots of pillows to prop myself up

I used liquid mylanta. It worked great but i kept getting diarrhea while taking it. Im back to the tums. I also thought once she dropped it would get better but im not that lucky. Lol

my dr said I could use tums, maalox or if it was bad zantac once a day.  it is all over the counter and not harmful to baby.   I would still check with the pharamasist though
