Heartburn Hell!!!
Just wondering if any of you girls have tips for heartburn? Its soooooo bad at this stage in the game (30 weeks) that it is making me completely miserable!!
I can't really do Tums or too much milk because I had kidney stones at 17 weeks and they told me to cut back my calcium intake! Someone recommended peppermint tea.....anyone ever try it??

Re: Heartburn Hell!!!
In all honesty, I suggest you start taking some Zantac. I take the 75mg once or 2x a day (12 hrs apart) as needed.

Re: Heartburn Hell!!!
I've tried peppermint tea. I can't recall it working.
I had BAD heartburn from when i was a teen. So I knew during pregnancy it would be a nightmare.
I know you said no tums, or milk... I use those two... as well as a pepcid AC every single night. If I have heartburn during the day or morning then i take another pepcid AC. But for the most part the pepcid AC really really helps.
I've tried many heartburn pills... pepcid AC pills are the ONLY ones that worked for me.
I'm 38 weeks just about now... and it does get worse and worse in the end. So I would DEF try to work a hearburn pill into your daily routine ASAP!

Re: Heartburn Hell!!!
Thanks girls for all of the suggestions! I am definitely going to talk to my OB about Zantac because I really don't think I can handle another 9 weeks of this!

I take zantac 75 once a day and drink seltzer or gingerale to help...

Re: Heartburn Hell!!!
Mine is really bad too! It used to be based on foods I ate, but now everything bothers me. Plus when I went for my ultrasound on Mon, the tech told me she saw a ton of hair! LOL
I usually just either deal with it or take a Tums. I hope the Zantac helps.

Re: Heartburn Hell!!!
I'm on Nexium for it. It works pretty well, but I have to be careful what I eat right before bed or else I can't lay down flat. Last night I got up at 3am and drank some water and it flared up really bad!! I also had this with DS and it goes away as soon as the baby is out.... I can't wait!
