Heartburn!

[Linsala]

I'm 25 weeks pregnant and have the WORST heartburn. It's constant and keeping me up at night. Any advice on what helps....besides TUMS?

Wow, I used to get heartburn from water....seriously!  The only real thing that worked for me that I could use all the time was milk.  You can't really go overboard unless you have a reaction to it and it's good for you and baby!  Hope you feel better!

I'd say my best advice would be to try and limit food and drinks (no, not those kind of drinks!) a little before you go to bed.  Also, maybe try sleeping with your head slightly elevated.  I know it really stinks to have this issue, so I wish you all the best!

I went through two Sams club size bottles of TUMS. I would drink water and get heart burn!

I tried not to eat before bed, I got acid reflux and thought the acid was going to burn a hole through my throat! It was horrible!
