Heartburn

Hi...I am 12 weeks and this past week just started getting heartburn...no matter what I eat.

What can I take for it?? I heard Pepto is off limits but what about Mylanta or something else?

Thanks

Try TUMS. THey also have calcium, which is great for you and the baby

My OB OK'd Pepcid Complete which worked 1000 times better than eating any amount of Tums. Ask your OB, it really was great, I had bad heartburn with both my pregnancies so I can feel your pain.

Re: Heartburn

usually a tum or two works for me

When I first start getting heartburn I found it to be worse than my m/s since I had rarely gotten it! But I guess know I am just used to it cause its not all that bad.

Re: Heartburn

I was just going to post about this. I am 31 weeks along and just started getting it bad. except mine is in my throat and i feel like i could vomit from it! i was up all night last night. i am going to call the dr now and see if there is anything else besides tums. they work for 2 seconds!

i just called the dr and they said Zantac and Pepcid are fine.
