Heartburn 30 weeks

I have really bad heartburn. What can we take to help this??

... tums. Or ask your Dr for something prescribed potentially... but most of us just pop antacids. A lot.

My OB says Zantac and Prilosec are also fine.

My Dr. Said to not take too many tums. And i cant remember what she suggested but i will ask again at next appt. Thanks for suggestions!

I take Pepcid AC and it works.

I use the Store Brand "Tums". And, as weird as this might sound, Pickle Juice also helps with my heartburn. You would think it wouldn't, though. But it does. )

If you want something guaranteed to work take 1 TBSP of baking soda, and mix it with 1 cup of luke warm water and chug. Almost instant relief. It is salty/gross, but right now it is the only thing that works. My personal trainer first recommended it, and when I got pregnant it is what my midwife suggested if Tums didn't work.

Baking soda is considered a class c drug. Check with your OB before doing this.

DO NOT TAKE BAKING SODA WITHOUT CALLING YOUR DOCTOR FIRST. 

This can and will cause your blood pressure to spike. Most medical professionals advise against it, ESPECIALLY when you're pregnant. 

A simple google search "baking soda for heartburn while pregnant" would tell you the same thing I just did.

Ugh, please don't use baking soda; it's a really ridiculous way to initiate problems that are completely preventable. Honestly, I just chug a glass of milk- always helps me.
