I use the Store Brand "Tums". And, as weird as this might sound, Pickle Juice also helps with my heartburn. You would think it wouldn't, though. But it does. )
If you want something guaranteed to work take 1 TBSP of baking soda, and mix it with 1 cup of luke warm water and chug. Almost instant relief. It is salty/gross, but right now it is the only thing that works. My personal trainer first recommended it, and when I got pregnant it is what my midwife suggested if Tums didn't work.

Baking soda is considered a class c drug. Check with your OB before doing this.
Ugh, please don't use baking soda; it's a really ridiculous way to initiate problems that are completely preventable. Honestly, I just chug a glass of milk- always helps me.

This can and will cause your blood pressure to spike. Most medical professionals advise against it, ESPECIALLY when you're pregnant.
A simple google search "baking soda for heartburn while pregnant" would tell you the same thing I just did.
