acid reflux! what do u take?

26 weeks- last few days and nights I get the burn. Sometimes tums help but not for long. I switched foods and well that still didn't change anything. What is safe/recommended? I read zantac is good but want more opinions. Plz lmk! Thanks :)

(As some drs are different, I don't want to just go with what my one OBGYN says)

Gaviscon comes in tabs like tums or in liquid form that feels like you're drinking toothpaste. It's very thick but it works instantaneously. It's a bit stronger than tums.

What's gaviscon? Never heard of it. Also why is it that sprite, Sierra mist and 7 up seem to help? Is it the carbonation?

Gaviscon and Tums work well for me. Also milk of magnesia is pregnancy safe.
