TUMS while pregnant

Is it safe to take tums while pregnant? I have acid reflux now and it's scary it tastes horrible and I don't like waking up choking in the middle of the night. I get it even after 2-3 hours of eating.

I heard you aren't supposed to take more than two at a time. I'm not sure though, but just in case I only take one or two.
