heartburn at night

[dreamland21]

Every night i wake up in the middle of the night with serious heartburn, its horrible im almost 37 weeks cant wait to have baby boy so maybe I wont have such bad heartburn all day and night. Anyone know how to get rid of it at night? I just drink some water and go back to sleep but it doesnt go away :(

I've noticed water will only make it worse. Right away it feels better but in the end it hurts more. I've had tums diet coke and mint gum all work for me and im 36 wks hope all goes well we're almost there

I've been enjoying a small glass of milk at night I take sips so I don't overdo it other wise tums and I take Famotidine aka(Pepcid) 2x a day if I take it around dinner time it Normally last at night

Water or tums. DO NOT DRINK WATER. It makes my heartburn worse!!!

I've recently started experiencing this only at night. I'm 37 weeks. Drink a small glass of milk right before bed and it helps a lot. I was waking up at 3am in tears because it was so bad.

Pop a tums ... I get heartburn only at night so I usually just pop one once a night lol

Ive been drinking a glass of milk before I go to bed. It helps neutralize the acid so it doesn't hurt as bad.

I sleep w a bottle of liquid mylanta and elevate my head and back w a sturdy extra pillow at night to keep my torso a bit higher...if I wake up bc of bad heartburn I take a swig of the mylanta and it goes away enough for me to sleep again. Heartburn is a real drag :/

I'm 34 weeks amd 4 days. I have the same problem.  Tums or Rolaids. I keep tums on my night table.  Hope you get some relief.
