Re: Ohhh the heartburn!!
It's terrible, I feel your pain. Last night was the first night I could fall asleep without sitting bolt upright. I took Pepcid around 5, only ate a tiny dinner (very bland), and then we were out for awhile so by the time I went to bed I had fully digested everything and was actually hungry. So I think what I will try from now on is to really limit my dinner to very small things and not eat after 7 at all. Hope the Pepcid works for you

Re: Ohhh the heartburn!!
I have been suffering with this since my 1st trimester. Its just getting worse and worse. I use Zantac and it works perfectly!!! My dr said tums would give me lots of constipation so I use the Zantac (just the normal strength though)

Re: Ohhh the heartburn!!
I was looking online for other remedies for heartburn, as I have been getting it a lot as well.
What I found was-- eating raw almonds, and also peppermint-- whether it be tea or a sucking candy. I have found it has helped me a little-- but, my heartburn is more uncomfortable than debilitating.

Re: Ohhh the heartburn!!
If your heartburn is really bad, your doc could prescribe Nexium for you. It is a class B drug and safe for pregnancy. I have been on it for several years b/c i have GERD, and I am trying my hardest not to use it, but it is getting harder with each passing day as the heartburn is getting worse. I also found that the new Tums powder is really effective.

Re: Ohhh the heartburn!!
TUMS do nothing for me. The pepcid works, but I don't like it take it every day. I think it might be an solution for the night time so I can get some zzzzzz.

Re: Ohhh the heartburn!!
You can try cutting down on the carbs, that should help the heartburn. I was having heartburn every day and then after being diagnosed with GD and having to follow a low-carb diet I have not had heartburn in over a month. My diet is pretty restrictive though so I'm not saying follow something so rigid but try watching your carbs and keeping them in moderation and see if that helps at all. Feel better!!!

Re: Ohhh the heartburn!!
I had that for a few days last week... the only thing that worked was sleeping with my upper body a bit propped up...... 
but I had a milder case than you do.....
just keep reminding yourself that it's all worth it

Re: Ohhh the heartburn!!
I have heartburn bad, I take prescription medicine and I still get it at night that I wake up. Ask your doctor is you can try gaviscon, it helps me when it is real bad.

Re: Ohhh the heartburn!!
i have never had heartburn in my life, i never knew it could be so painful especially when i have to wake up in the middle of the night to take more tums! fortunately the tums have helped a lot... but i pray it doesn't get worse or i'm going to need to ask my doctor about taking something stronger.

Re: Ohhh the heartburn!!
Feel better. I've had heartburn since 5 weeks. When it gets really bad, I take Zantac 75 twice per day. It helps tremendously.
