heartburn

MegStark

I've never had heartburn in my life and the last 2 nights I've been up with it. It's horrible! What helps and is okay to take while pregnant!??

I always carry Tums. I get them in bulk from Sams Club. Good luck!! Mine hasn't gotten serious enough for Prevacid. I am fairly certain that is safe as well.

My OB said pepcid!

tums doesn't do squat for me. it helps as I swallow it and until the next time I drink (or swallow enough spit) then it goes right back to disgusting taste at the back of my mouth and burning feeling

Thanks! Tums don't seem to be doing anything for me

My doc said Maalox and another OTC med, can't remember which. I tracked my diet and have found chocolate and sometimes tomato based foods are the culprits. I've been eliminating chocolate or eating in smaller moderations chased by tums and am also having a glass of milk before bed. So far it has made the heartburn more tolerable. Good luck!

my OB said Pepcid as well...but I have started having a milkshake just before bed...it helps more than the pepcid

My doc said Prevacid is fine.  I have been using it for about 6 weeks now. It has helped so so much.

Thanks everyone... I went and picked up all of your suggestions   Including a milkshake.
