Severe Heartburn

hi all. I'm 32 weeks and I've had heartburn on and off for a couple of weeks. Over the last few days it's got worse, constantly throughout the day and it's really causing me a lot of discomfort. It doesn't matter what I eat, nothing I eat seems to make it better or worse :( Is anyone else suffering from heartburn and if so what medications can I take to ease it?

Re: Severe Heartburn

  • I take TUMs...a lot.  I also find that drinking a small glass of milk with my meal helps.  I feel your pain...this is one of the worst parts of third tri for me.

  • OMG YES. For the last month it has been horrible. I have been taking zantac daily ( my MD suggested it) since she said tums might not do much at this point.I am usually ok if I take it, but I usually won't take it unless I get any heartburn.  

    I was doing some light prenatal yoga and every time I was upside down I could like feel it in my throat.I had to stop because I was so uncomfortable.


  • Up until yesterday, I'd been popping tums like they were going out of style. I remembered reading on here something about trying apple vinegar cider. I was at the grocery store and picked up a bottle. It actually worked BETTER and LONGER than tums! I took a tsp and then chased it with a glass of water. It burns like hell going down but that quickly subsides. For the record, I am not into natural remedies as a general rule. But this one actually worked for me! Worth a try for sure!

  • Mine was bad last night and not even my Zantac touched it. I will drink some pickle juice and take a Zantac and it usually knocked it out.
