Heartburn and pregnancy Posted: 03-30-08 17:17pm
Any tips?
I eat TUMS like they are candy. I eat
almost constantly. I drink lots of water.
Although it seems it's CONSTANT and
starting to make me mad! 37wks on Tuesday

the heartburn might be from something your
eating too much of, or just not agreeing
with you, and thats why you are eating
tums all the time when you have heartburn.

I have been told that drinking a glass of
milk can help with heartburn. You may want
to try that. Hope it helps.

Now that you mention milk, I don't seem to
get it when I eat cereal...
Thank you!

has been constant and nothing seems to be
working

helps me. Which sucks cause I'm SO SORE.

Yeah it does help loads. Im propped up in
bed half the time, which is annoying
because its so uncomfortable. Also, i can
NOT lay on my right. Worse pain in the
world!

Sitting up a little (propping up with
pillows or even propping your mattress up
a little) can help so much. Try not eating
close to when you may be going to bed or
laying down. Do you have a recliner? I
highly recommend a recliner for all women
in their last few weeks of pregnancy and
the first few weeks after the baby gets
here. You'll find yourself sleeping
sitting up a lot in the coming months.
Have you switched up the tums with
rolaids? I like rolaids a lot better!

Believe me, I truly know the feeling!! I
just eat tums and also after eating I sit
up for a while. That usually helps.. I
will be 38 wks tomorrow.
