Meds not working

I'm 38 weeks and my heartburn is like straight up LAVA. Not even my ranitidine and tums combined can save me anymore. I drink so much water and am careful to stay away from trigger foods. I'm also remaining propped up when laying down. I think she's just bigger and pushing on everything now so the only solution is birth at this point. In the mean time I've been crushing up ice chips in my ninja blender to ease the burn. Anyone else at the end feeling so over it?? Haha. We are almost there !! Can't wait to meet this baby, wondering if she's going to have a lot of hair.. runs in the family!

    Apple cider vinegar. I know it sounds counterproductive,  but the extra acid actually forces the valve at the bottom of the esophagus to open and the valve at the top to close. Mix a tsp of raw apple cider vinegar in 1/4-1/2 cup water. If you can get over the awful taste it really does work!!

    Ugh I'm with you. I feel it pouring into my throat every time I even think about lying down. I just keep telling myself that pregnancy can't last forever...
