Get Zantac! I already had severe acid reflux when I got pregnant, they had to take me off the strong stuff and put me on Zantac because its safe for pregnancy. You can take up to 300mg a day.

I have had acid reflux for 10 years and have always taken prilsec OTC. When i got prego this time doc put me on Zantac (150mg) 2xs a day and protonix (20 mg) 2xs a day. I still get heartburn n throw up acid a few times a week but it def. Helps.

I'm on prescription Prilosec and its a life saver! My reflux gets pretty bad. Zantac did NOT work for me.

You can take Zantac while pregnant, My dr researched it before she gave me the go ahead to take it and it is ok, just not the 150's. I only take it once a week or so and it helps. Just to let you know, having the baby doesn't always get rid of the heartburn, I still have it a year later, and I am now pregnant with my second. So check with your OB and see what she says, but I made sure my dr double checked before I took it

Prilosec too, you can do the two week over the counter treatment I believe
