Help!!  Heartburn/indigestion/ allllll the time and Tums does nothing. Is there anything else I can take that is prego safe?

My OB has upped me to 80mg famotidine daily and I really have been needing it. It's the exact same thing as pepcid which is sold in 10-20mg and usually says not to take more than 2 in 24 hours. Start with over the counter dosage every morning/eveningas needed, see how you feel, then ask your doctor if it's not helping enough.

Definitely famotidine/pepcid! Took it daily last pregnancy and probably will be doing that again soon.

My heartburn/acid reflux has been relentless from the beginning. Approaching second tri and I hope it doesn't decide to step up another notch or two! 😬
