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 ...

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.

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.

Anna
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~!
Jess
