3rd trimester heartburn relief

Wgoad01 · July 2015

It's like I got to the 31wk mark and boom. Heartburn waking me up every night. Any suggestion? At the point I'm open to taking meds.

I'm prescribed Prilosec and it does me wonders, it's available OTC as well. I highly recommend it

I find that drinking a glass of milk before bed has helped me tremendously.

Raw almonds and apple cider are supposed to help as well

Tums work for me

SarahEmmons330 · July 2015

My midwife has me on 150 mg of Zantac twice a day and it works wonders!

Lots of tums! And Pecid twice a day.

Once I was taking up to 6 Tums daily, my dr told me to switch to Prilosec. It has been absolutely amazing. Don't let yourself suffer. All of my symptoms are completely controlled now.

Tums had been working for me but now it has been kicked up a notch. I had to take some pepcid last night and it was amazing.

Ask your doc! My husband is a physician and warned me early on about some of the acid reducers having too much calcium- check to see what pregnancy category the drug is and decide what you are comfortable with... I was not willing to risk the tums like drugs...

My Dr. gave me an rx for an acid reducer and I take 2 tums before bed. The best tricks I've found so far is to eat a light, bland dinner and go for a walk after to help move things through and to sleep propped up on a bean bag chair.

I take Zantac 75 once a day, twice if it's really bad. And I avoid tomatoes and tomato-based foods (they make it much worse for me). Doc said Zantac is completely fine to take

Zantac! You can take it as prevention first thing in the morning and as a rescue med when your reflux flares up. Can take up to 300 mg daily. This is what my OB prescribed.

Apple cider vinegar and papaya enzymes have done wonders for me!

Tums!

Wgoad01 · July 2015

Thanks everyone. Tums aren't doing the trick lately. For some reason my heartburn only occurs at night whether I'm propped up or not. I think I will give Zantac a try. I'm a dental professional and have a hard time chewing up tums at 230 in the morning and going back to sleep without brushing. So maybe Zantac will give me back that hour of sleep.

Nexium is what my doctor has me own it's amazing

My advice is to skip Zantac and go straight to Prilosec.

Worked WONDERS for me!

I'm very skeptical on taking medication while pregnant so I deal with it.

angelaz94 · July 2015

Mines really bad and I don't feel comfortable taking medication so the only thing that I realized helps me is spearmint gum.

For anyone skeptical about taking medication while pregnant, I drink Braggs Raw apple cider vinegar drinks. They come in different flavors. My favorite is grape. Instantly helps my heartburn.
