I'm 38.5 weeks pregnant and have heartburn!! I never had it before, I'm eating these damn tums and THEY ARE not helping. Its so bad, I wanna puke!! Any advice? I've tried cold milk, didn't work!! Help

Zantac has been a life saver for me.

Bananas helped sooooooooooooooooo much for me. Try to stay clear from too many tums and ant acids you haven't talked to your doctor about.

my dr prescribed zantac also because tums was not worth taken

Zantac has been amazing for me but the only thing it seems to not help with is pizza sauce! It's awful lol but I had to make sure to listen to the doctor and take in the morning and at night no matter what or it didn't work right

I take pepcid dr. said it was fine. It's painful but I drink something carbonated to burp and relieve some pain.

Try to avoid eating the foods you know trigger your heartburn.  For me last pregnancy it was pasta sauce, french fries, chocolate... and dont bend down after you eat or lay down.

I was eating so many tums they work for about 20 min if that.so my Doc told me to take zantac it works great!!!! just make sure ur doc will approve it before taking.

[krissy8834]

I didn't know we could take zantac, I wonder if I have some?!?

Zantac works and is safe to take.

I get it at night time bad. Try sitting upward and water or milk. Sometimes I just have to work thru it....not to far to go :)
