  • I was wondering the same thing. Im 22 weeks and its been horrible the past week.
  • You can try tums or malox neither worked for me... just been riding it out... I'm almost 12 weeks and its getting a little better... no pepto though! That's what my doc told me. You can also call a doc or health dept. And talk to a nurse if your worried. They might have better advice.
  • I've tried tums and maalox. Best thing I've found is to eat a bowl of cereal with milk. Always makes mine better. Im learning what I can and cannot eat. Seems to be worse when im at work eating junk.
  • Heard you can take zantac over the counter but every doc is different. My doc told me I could have a grande starbucks and tea with each meal. He also prescribed me Ambien for sleep. He's very laid back. I've been seeing him for 15 years.
  • Honestly, try to avoid the yummy food that curses you with it. So far I've only gotten heartburn over hot fries and cajun food, mama likes spice. Baby no like spice, or eating super heavy. 10wks!
  • Yeah I eat hot sauce with everything I can't stop eating it tho that' prob y I get it lol
  • My dr. gave me zantac for heart burn. Also drinking cold water helps me.
  • My doc gave me zantac. I also take liqued gaviscon in between
  • I've had acid reflux for over ten years so im no stranger to heartburn but this last week was pure hell. I've always taken zantac but nothing was working. A friend told me about gaviscon. I got the chewable tabs, took two of them and my heartburn was gone in about 15 mins and hasn't come back! Wish I would have known about that stuff sooner!
  • Thank u ladies for all the help I'll try n c how it gos hopefully it works
