My grandmother always told me a tablespoon of baking soda with a glass and half of water (about 12 ounces, but I would do about 16 ounces or 2 cups of water to dilute it more) will help. She used that during her whole pregnancy. I can not stand the taste of it at all. Antacids stopped working for me. I heard pickle juice will help ease the pain too. Also try not eat or drink anything at least 2-3 hours before you lay down for bed. Hope you feel better!

I read that you can drink aloe vera juice to help, and it's good cuz it is natural. You can also chew gum too, the saliva is a natural heart burn suppressant too.

Hi there!

As with any problem or new medication during pregnancy, you should always talk to your doctor. Bananas are a natural antacid for one thing. When it comes to meds,  I would ask your pharmacist. I have known women that take Zantac - but you should ask a professional beforehand!

Good luck!
