Anyone getting intense heartburn?

Yesterday I started getting this squeezing pain right in the centre of my chest. At first I had no idea what it was. It started in the morning and lasted the whole day. It was worse when I took a deep breath but I wasn't short of breath. I started to notice that when I burped (which I did a lot yesterday!) I'd get some relief (sometimes a few.se ones, sometimes a minute or so). I figure this is heartburn. Does this sound about right? I have never had it before. It's morning.g now, I haven't eaten yet and I feel fine. What can I do?

    Heartburn is a.feeling so hard to explain but youll most likely no when you have it! I never used to get it but now that im pregnant its EVERYDAY ...my doc gave me a list of.save meds to take for it...here they are
    Tums, rolaids, mylanta, pepcid ac, and zantac
    Do not take pepto bismol.
    Of.coarse every pregnancy is different and you might want to give your doc a call. Pepcid ac works best for me! :)

    I avoid meds if I can. Ginger has been helping. Also mini bananas and yogi tea for expectant mothers

    Laying on your left side helps stop it bc your esophagus curves to the right. I have bad acid reflux and GERD and was taking protonix before I got pregnant and my doc said to stay on it and I still get heart burn. I really dont want to take it but she said its safe.

    Zantac is the only thing that helps me. Doc said it was ok.

    I get it constantly no matter what I eat. Tums work great for me n even milk. They have a Berry kind that really doesn't taste bad I suck on them though I never chew.

    I've lived on zantac for months. (For the last 2 pregnancies actually) it has helped alot in combination with the Tums Smoothies

    Tums, Maalox, and best of all Yogi Ginger tea, it works wonders.

    A half a spoon of baking soda actually gets rid of my heartburn right away. :)
