heartburn...

Is there anyone else experiencing heartburn? I've never had it before now and I'm a little over 5.5 months along.
Is there anything that I could take for it?

Mine is so bad I would get acid reflux when I was sleeping - I'm taking the off brand of Zantac - it works amazing!  It takes an hour to kick in so if I need immediate relief I use the tums, but since I knew I got mine mostly at night I just take it before bed and I am good all night :-)

Ooo. Need to try milkshakes!  ;)  I pop Tums since they are safe.  I try to eat less at each meal and snack a bit.... sometimes nothing helps!  Maybe our kids will be born with gorgeous hair!!!  ;)   :)  I also avoid nuts and peanut butter.     Which is sad as they are delicious but it aggravates indigestion for me.  Just passing along!  Following this thread!  :)  a happy and healthy pregnancy for all!♡☆♡☆♡

I have had it most of my pregnancy. Tums stopped working so my doctor suggested zantac twice a day, it works like a charm i very rarely get heartburn now
