heartburn, tums, what works??!

Cait_SeptemberMommy · August 2011

All of a sudden, yesterday, I started getting bad heartburn. Even water is giving me heartburn. It went away earlier, but it came back again. I've never had heartburn in my life. And now, when I have three weeks left, I get it!!! ugh. I took tums, it kinda went away, and I'm hungry...but every bite I eat is giving me more heartburn, I don't even wanna eat now cause the heartburn gets so bad

what can I do about the heartburn? is this normal? Anything I can take besides tums?

Try drinking milk. It helps me.

Suck on the tums, get maylox cherry flavor is good milk zantac75 sugarfree gum ice cream yogurt... Hope that helps!

Zantac was a LIFE SAVER during my pregnancy. I would also pour a glass milk and put it in the freezer for about 15 minutes so it'd be super cold, and that'd help too!
