Pregnancy Info HOME

Hi! I'm about a week ahead of you, & I've been having the same thing for about 2 weeks. It's only at night, & it's only when I lay down. I asked my doc about it yesterday & he said it's because everything is so cramped in there. He said anything like Tums, Mylanta etc. is ok to take (I've been taking Tums & they help me). He also said if it's really bad, OTC Pepcid is ok as well. He also suggested not eating 4 hours before I go to bed. That's the hard one!! :-) Good luck!

im with you with the heartburn ive had it since day 1. and i feel like it gets worse n worse.. my suggestion is to buy Gala Apples.. they really work. eat one before you go to bed. That's what i've been doing.. it calms it down. I also take Mylanta ultra streagth Chewable tablets.. im 36wks. i hope it works.. it works for me.

Oh I feel your pain! I have been getting heartburn and reflux for the last month or so - at the start it was just when I lay down - now its all the time! I also use Mylanta which helps a lot at night before sleep - I can still feel the reflux but it doesnt burn. I am definately going to go and try the Gala Apples! I am at work right now and have it really bad - am about to try a peppermint tea - will let you know how i go! x

I havent had much heartburn at all this pregnancy, but I'm 37 weeks and 3 days as well and I've been having heartburn the last two days too. Eck. Water and Tums...or chewable rolaids work if you have any. I've jsut been drinkign water....

Hi ladies, sorry about your alls heartburn. I know what you are going through, went through the same thing. Thank goodness it stopped as soon as I gave birth :-) The one thing that helped me was Zantac 75. My doctor actually recommended it over anything else. It works like a charm, you can take one pill twice a day or just one late evening and have a good nights sleep, well as good as it gets when your 9 months preggers. Good luck and hope it helps.
