Heartburn

If there is a topic like this already, I have no problem with somebody directing me to it :P


I have always had issues with heartburn. I try to eat foods that won't cause it, but I always seem to find something new that will make my stomach twirl.

Now that I am pregnant, it hasn't necessarily increased or decreased, but I do feel concerned about taking medication for it. It's definitely a discussion I want to have with my doctor in my next appointment (and whenever the office is open next), but I wanted to know what do you guys do to take care of heartburn?

    With my first I just chugged milk when I had heartburn symptoms, then I started carrying Tums with me everywhere (good calcium supplement too!).  After a while it got too bad to control and I needed a preventative, I believe the doctor had me taking Zantac like PP said.  But I'd start with the milk and Tums, then ask the doctor to upgrade to medication if you need to.

    I was on Pepcid maximum strength twice a day in the 3rd trimester of my last pregnancy.

    I had GERD before pregnancy and now it seems worse so I will take ranitidine, my dr said it was okay to. I take tums for temporary relief but it doesn't last long.

    I just chomped on a couple tums myself. If this is what I get instead of MS, I'll take it.

    I want to agree with you on having heartburn over MS, except I feel the complete opposite hehe. Heartburn is like experiencing both sickness and a burning sensation at the same time

    I get horrible heartburn in my third trimester each pregnancy. Like waking up choking in the middle of the night bad or breathing fire bad. The fact that it has already started this time really scares me. I had several occupancies where I woke up gasping because I got choked and I'm really not looking forward to that again.
