Unfortunately im lactose intollerant so a glass of milk would make it waaaay worse!  Lol. Good to know I can take tums! *phew*

Try drinking a glass of cold milk.... I also tried tums.... But the milk usually does the tick for me....

Tums should be fine.  Dose for a pregnant woman is a limit of 5/day.  Whenever I need to take them for heartburn I just make sure it's not right after I take my prenatal vitamin because they do have calcium in them.
