36 weeks and spitting up stomach acid

Hello I'm currently 36 wks pregnant and I notice during the day but most at night during my sleep I spit up stomach acid! It's so gross and irritating. I don't eat heavy nor do I eat before bed to cause any discomfort. I don't know if it's just another pregnancy symptom?  Heartburn feels a lot worse though.

I can totally sympathise! I don't even have triggers EVERTHING makes me feel like I'm about to vomit fire. My throat is killing me with it. It's really common in pregnancy as your hormones relax, the valve that goes from your stomach to gullet relaxes too, which makes acid travel up from your stomach into your throat. It's so unfair!!!!

I'm almost 33 weeks and it git so bad I couldn't sleep at all. My doctor prescribed me once a day Nexeum for heartburn and I don't have the heartburn or acid reflux problem anymore.
