To much acid

I am 18 weeks pregnant... I know every pregnancy is different...I would like to know if it's normal to have a very acidic feeling in my stomach... It burns really bad.. And I don't know what to do.. My doctor said it's normal to have an increase in the amount of stomach acid.. But didn't tell me what can help me reduce the burn and pain that kills me

Myralax is safe during pregnancy. Tastes like crap but it coats your stomach and it was a life saver during my first pregnancy

I've had acid reflux for years, I always had milk or I took these pills. They're otc and are just called acid reflux.

Honestly water is what gives me the most acid reflux so that's why I've been reluctant to try it.

Drinking milk helps me too! I've also heard mixing a small amount of baking soda and water helps too, but I haven't tried it myself.
