I kept throwing up every day and it would burn and it would disturb my sleep i told my doc and she said I have acid reflex she prescribed me famotidine 40mg and it helps me u might want to try that because tums don't work for that.

Gaviscon double effect realy helps and safe during pregnancy and its available @pharmacies n supermarkets. I drink a lot of water and also chew bubble gum(chappies) after every meal it helps a lot. Just make sure ur midwife knows n gives an ok.

I take 150mg zantac and its the only thing that works for me. I have heartburn and gerd. Had it before I got pregnant. Got worse when I got pregnant. So I have to take 2 a day. One in the morning and one at night. Try not to eat and then lay down. Wait about two hours after eating to lay down. I hope this helps. Good luck hun:)
