It's indigestion/heartburn (I get those confused)!!! I know Tums and Maalox are fine during pregnancy!

I'm sorry to disappoint you!!    I guess it's all a part of pregnancy....it's well worth it though! =)  Your doctor may be able to give you something for it. I just stick to tums, I'm not big on prescription meds. It takes a lot for me to even take a tylenol!! lol. But I do hope you get some relief soon! <3

I have had that my entire pregnancy so far. I am 30 weeks. It is only getting worse. The burning in my throat is the worst feeling ever! I can't even burp without something coming up as well. Sorry...TMI.    Some women just experience a lot of indegestion, heartburn, and acid reflux. Tums are my best friend!! It's the only thing that takes away the burning, well for a little while at least. Do you eat spicy foods? I don't and can't seem to figure out why it happens. I ate a bowl of cereal the other night, and it happened! Go figure...I thought milk would help. lol.
