I had heartburn with Caroline and I've been having it again. Up until a few nights ago Tums were my best friend. They seemed to be able to get the fire under control. However on Sunday night it was really bad. Really bad. To the point that it woke me up and was keeping me up. Then it happened again last night. Tums aren't helping. I know I can take a pill for it, but I wanted to see if any of you have any other remedies.
So, what did you do for your heartburn?
Re: Heartburn ?
I took Tums before I ate anything. I couldn't risk having heartburn. That was terrible. When I had heartburn, I drank milk or chocolate milk or I had a milkshake. It always helped.
I take Tums all day long. And unfortunately dairy is a heartburn trigger for me. Although I have been known to indulge in a few milkshakes this pregnancy.
I've always heard that milk can help.
Feel better!

This. It was actually the MW who told me to take Zantac, but I took the generic store brand kind and I think mine were only 75. Regardless, they were the only way that I wasn't up all night during the 3rd tri. If I forgot to take them, forget it! It was awful. I figured out that one of my triggers was tomato sauce. I hated having to give up my Friday night pizza, but it just wasn't worth it.
