tums?

[acline93]

Are they safe to take while pregnant?

ZANTAC 150!!!!! my doc prescribes it to me... It's a life saver... And a sleep saver lol bc I have acid reflux disease anyways so my pregnancy heart burn could melt the buttons offa your shirt... So yeah zantac!

[steffie3040]

yes, tums are my best friend. they were before I even became pregnant! I have really bad sinus drainage and stuff so I pop at the least 8 tums a day. not to mention, they are a good source of calcium, too!

[acline93]

Lol I'd definitely take an antacid if I didn't have a kidney disease. I'm very limited as to what medications I can take, and pregnancy just makes it worse.

[esarver93]

You should try mint anti acids. So much better than regular tums and cheaper.

[sammy1990]

Yes! I lived off them for my son's pregnancy. As for this pregnancy....nothing yet. Keeping fingers crossed.

Tums are a pregnant girls bestfriend lol

[9char_maine4]

I was taking the smoothie ones to calm my nasuea but the mint ones for heart burn lol idk the mint ones worked better for it, for me lol

[soontobemommyof4]

Tums were my best friend during pregnancy.  Saved me many sleepless nights. Hopen they helped u.

[achewitt]

My doc told me to take Zantac once before bed and once when I wake up and to take tums with calcium in between. I also find that drinking a lil bit of sprite helps because it makes me burp and it relieves a lot of the burning and uncomfortable pain.

You cn take 7 within 24hrs... Bt thy will cause constipation.. Worst side effect ever...

[acline93]

But thanks guys, I'll try the tums. I'm not big on fruity stuff so I'll probably take the mint ones lol

[Kimejo_81]

Lol

[acline93]

I feel like if I could burp one good time I'd be fine, but I just can't lol

[Kimejo_81]

Yep sounds like mine! Maybe askbur OB if u could do.Zantac. it helps a TON for me.

[WiggleWiggleWiggle]

They r ok to take, and they will become ur beat friend for heartburn! I like the smothie ones too and ive been taking them off and on thru my pregnancy up till the passed several weeks and I have 2 weeks left. I have to take one or two about every night and occasionaly during the day. My trick is I take one then with a little swig of water I rinse my mouth to get it all down then if its bad ill eat a ceacker with it and a little sip of water to keep my mouth and throat moist, if its not to bad I might skip the cracker. Good luck and congrats

[acline93]

Mine is the indigestion + heartburn. I can't hardly eat because I'm so uncomfortable.

[Kimejo_81]

My OB said I.could.take Zantac daily cuz my heartburn is so bad. I can still tame tums too when it gets bad. Good luck HB *****!

[mommyoftwins07]

[acline93]

Thanks. I'm practically dying over here.

[Mizzztaylor]
