Ugh the heartburn...

Roseypants · April 2014

I have had terrible heartburn since about 6-7 weeks. I never had it with DD but it's absolutely awful this time around. I have it all day long, and I almost feel like I need to sleep sitting up at night

Pepcid (sp?) - it is my life saver! One in the morning and one at dinner...without it I would breathe fire.

Good to know! Thank you

I have been doing tums and they suck..

I second the Pepcid, Tums didn't do a thing for me either.

I've been having a lot of heart burn lately too. Guess I'll have DH pick me up some Pepcid. Hoping this is the one old wives tale that holds true for me!

Do they say boy?

Lots of heartburn = lots of hair, or so they say

Roseypants · April 2014

oh haha! Well my 3 year old daughter still has hardly any hair, and I don't remember having any heartburn with her lol

I have tons of heartburn every night, I read somewhere to try and eat less, so you don't get heartburn. That doesn't work for me, but 2 Tums a night has. I'll have to keep Pepcid in mind though if the Tums stop workin!

I'm sure my spaghetti O's don't help either ha! I can't help it..

Is everyone sure Pepcid is safe? I thought Tums was the only OTC that is pregnancy safe?

Yeah, my OB told me Tums only. I've only used them a few times because they don't work for me, so I find I just sort of suffer my way through it.

The list my ob gave me says zantac, tums, maalox, mylanta, or pepcid

I has TERRIBLE heart burn with my son. I probably should have gotten a script for something. But I just used tons of maalox and tums. And he came out with TONS of hair.

Zantac! Life saver!

It's started creeping up on me too, started much later the first time around! Last pregnancy I took Pepcid (per OB) when it got really bad, I would take it before bed. During the day I used Tums and drank tons of milk. I also became very careful about what I was eating - most acidic foods didn't taste good anyways, but it doesn't hurt to keep a close eye on your diet.

Ditto, never took a single Tums after her birth until a few weeks ago!

Mine has been surprising well-behaved for the past few weeks. I have a hiatal hernia and have had really bad reflux since I was about 20. But I ate at this wonderful Greek restaurant tonight and yeeeeeoow!

I just got the Tums chews. MUCH better than the chalky tabs:)
