Heartburn relief

I have suffered from SEVERE heartburn throughout this pregnancy (currently at 31 weeks). My doctor suggested I take Tums as needed and 1 Zantac before dinner. It still didn't help and I would wake up in the middle of the night and need to take more Tums because it was SO painful.

At my last visit, she suggested Prilosec. I bought the generic form of it at the grocery store and I take it once a day. I'm on my fourth day and I have not had ANY HEARTBURN. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN WEEKS. I am sleeping through the night and able to eat meals without feeling like dying after.

Whenever I searched for relief, I didn't see Prilosec mentioned as much as Zantac, so I figured I would put this out there in case anyone needs to try something different! I didn't think I'd find something that would work for me and I'm so happy I did.
