I know how u feel ... I had the worst heartburn when I was pregnant. I couldnt hardly sleep. The thing that worked best for me was peppermint. Either sucking on the mints or chewing gum or whatever, but it really worked for me.

Hope that helps let me know though ...

Ahh, heartburn sucks! Anna you poor thing!

The joys of pregnancy :d

I used to get heartburn sooo bad, and as soon as I would get it I would go and drink a large glass of milk and it would go away. You could try that.

Oh and thanks guys for the tips:d

Tums :wink: ...I had heartburn so bad in the middle of the night...When I was pregnant with my son...They work so good I took them like candy...Hah not really but try them and see if they work!

Tums---is that an antacid tablet as well? Grrrrrr....5 am here and I cant sleeep coz of my heartburn:-(

I am at about 23 weeks and have heart burn that makes you want to really hurt somebody!!! Jeeeeesus...It is bad..I can't eat anything!!!!

I heard that means your baby has a lot of hair.....

hahahaha I heard the same thing lol

Tums are safe. They even include "pregnant ladies" on the back of there label. All it is is a calcium supplement...So actually it is really good to take a couple a day weather you have heartburn or not...Especially if you are not a dairy fan (such as myself) and need to get calcium from some where.

How early in pregnancy can you get heartburn?

here is what you can and cannot take for heartburn since I have suffered and had nights it was so bad I would just be sick and live in the bathroom..

Maalox & gaviscon for severe
for mild and moderate take tums & rolaids

pepto bismal is a big no no because it contains asa aka aspirin which can cause reyes syndrome in children

i took maalox and it actually helped for a few days and the I will get the odd bout now maybe once a week instead of everyday but it coats ur stomach and esophogas it feels so good~~! Dr & ob gyn said these were okay I think gaviscon is under dr supervision but ask the pharmacist btw gaviscon and maalox arent cheap here anyways about 11$ for medium sized bottle......

Good luck~!
