I live in Ireland - I'll have a look for pickles juice :)

Thanks ladies x

I get it terribly also. Stay away from fatty or greasy foods. Milk helps me a lot. It sounds like you live in the UK, om not sure if you guys have pickles over there or not. They are baby cucumbers stored in a vinegar brine, spices and some salt.

I agree any thing with dairy will help...I eat yogurt to help. I also do tums a lot and zantac is pregnancy safe, too. Avoid greasy and fatty foods and anyything with a lot of acid (tomatoes, soda, etc) will make it worse. Definitely keep tums on hand forimmediate relief

I get it so bad sometimes it takes my breath away, but as soon as i drink milk its gone within 5 mins

I take prilosec. Baby safe. I had acid reflux before being pregnant. No reason to suffer through heartburn. If you have constant heartburn/acid reflux you can damage your esophagus since it's not equipped to handle stomach acid.

There's always the classic tums.

I'll look for pepcid in the chemist thanks!! :)

And this probably sounds ridiculous but wtf is pickle juice lol x

I am now 31wks and had heart burn and acic reflexes since I have been in my second trimestre. They were very painful for me. I literally will find myself crying cause the pain was unbearable. I thought I tried everything I could possibly considering I was pregnant but nothing seem to help at all. So I went to my doc and told her my problem and she suggested pepcid complete chewables and I could not believe how much it has help. I dont think I had to take no more than three a day. I get the berry flavor and it isnt bad at all. I would definetly recommend pepcid complete chewable tablets to all women for heartburn and acic reflexes. It works wonders for me and I hope it does the same for you.

I know it sounds crazy but mix water and puckle juice together works wonder thats is what my doctor told me to do and it really worked just mix then half and half

I actually can't suffer through it feels like I can't even breath at times and I feel like I'm puking but I'm not :/ so odd.

I'll try avoid spicey food etc... doesn't help I crave nachos with jalapeño eh? Lol .. I've ate nothing but sausage pudding and patatoes today. .
But maybe the can of coke done it :/

Aghh I never had heartburn on my daughter xx

I'm 30 weeks and I get it all the time.. It *****.  I get it no matter what food I eat but definately stay away from spicy,  fast food,  etc. Tums are my best friend.

Dont know of any way to prevent it. Some ppl say drinking milk help.. I just call it one of those things.. My poor butt hurts from having to sit up and i still get it. I personally dont take anything for it i just suffer through it.. 33weeks counting down..
