Is it safe to take tums every night during pregnancy?

Question

I started taking it at 30 weeks because the heartburn has been getting worse.

Would it be safe to possibly take one every night until the end of my pregnancy?

Thanks!

Answer

I have major leg pain, not cramps, and was told to take a tums every day.  So whether it's for heartburn or leg pain, obviously they're safe.

There is a daily limit. Try papaya enzymes.

I take them quite a bit, but beware. I know someone who took them every night before bed and ended up with kidney stones a week before she went into labor because of all of he extra calcium.

Answer

Tums are fine, they don't work for me 🙄 so I've been living off Zantac lol

Answer

Yes! That is a very low amount. It is also very normal to have acid reflux during pregnancy as the baby is pushing up on everything!! I also tried papaya first, and it worked well for bloating but not for the heartburn! You can take zantac or pepcid, but if one tums takes care of it, I would stick with that.
