Nothing worked for me, I had it right from the start so I have been put on omeprazole  which has helped significantly x

I have had it so bad from 14 weeks on that I had to be put on special medication called Protinix or else I throw up. NOT A THING over the counter helps and if I knew a natural remedy that worked I would tell you. :( DO NOT DRINK MILK for it and chocolate makes it worse. Which ***** lol

I had severe heartburn about the same time you are with my 1st pregnancy  and the only thing that helped me was a cold glass of milk.

It's normal unfortunately...I tend to try not to eat anything after 8:30 pm and find that the later you sleep the worse it becomes. Also found that if you are hungry late at night, try something light like cereal. Don't eat oily or fried food after 6 pm and milk at the end helps with the acidic part a bit. Good luck! :)

I had the same problem. I got Zantac over the counter. It is safe during pregnancy and has helped me so much!
