After trying a few other things, I saw somewhere that chewing gum as well as peppermint can help heartburn. I found peppermint gum - the one I got is Trident - and if I chew it for about 20 minutes while sitting up (not reclining at all), it's almost immediate relief.
Just wanted to share in case this helps someone else
If this pregnancy ends up like my last one, I'll try anything! I'll tuck this bit of info away for later.
(And the old wives tale about heart burn equaling a full head of hair was 100% true for me!)
Me too! I ended up asking my dr for something to help with my first pregnancy and she prescribed me something but also said there was something over the counter I could take. I took it daily and it was a life saver!
