horrible heartburn

[nursemommytobe]

Hi ladies, I'm 36 weeks (37 this sunday) and although I've had heartburn my entire pregnancy, it hasn't been bad and I've been able to control it with alka seltzer relief chews once in a while when it happened...lately it's become horrible!!! My throat feels like it's on fire almost all day long...any suggestions on what to take or what to do? I avoid lying down after meals and if course any irritating foods, but it's constant and nothing helps!!!

I'm 37 weeks preggo & I've had heartburn since the day I found out. I take the v chewable peppermint tums at least 2 three times a day. They seem to be the only thing that works for me... hope this helps you out! :-)

I'm 25 weeks and have had heartburn since week 13. I use Zantac. Target brand is Ranitidine. I take two every day. My doctor told me that was fine. If I don't take it the heartburn is so bad I vomit. I hope you find something that works for you. I know how miserable it can be.

The same thing was happening to me & I told my dr about it. He gave me a prescription for a heartburn medication and it has really helped me a lot.
