heartburn during late pregnancy?

Question

Morning sickness and heartburn was so bad during my first trimester & was more than happy when it went away in my second. Now, I'm 37 weeks 4 days and heartburn has came back to bite me in the butt. It started yesterday after a big meal in the afternoon (bad idea I know). But I woke up this morning and still have the heartburn and it's also making me nauseous.

Is this normal? And how to get rid of it? Feeling miserable... 😒😪

Answer

Yup it's normal.

Zantac maximum strength, every 12 hours as directed is safe to take. It's the only thing that saved me

Answer

Tums and almond milk helped me!

Answer

Yes, very normal. Your uterus is pushing on all your internal organs and there's not much room. Try eating small, frequent meals, drinking water, and avoiding spicy foods or foods that you know cause you heartburn.

I forget what all you can take for heartburn, but your doctor can tell you what is safe.

Answer

Talk with your OB. Mine suggested OTC Zantac.  Also, Walmart has these heartburn chews that are awesome. I kept these by my bed during my last pregnancy! Fresh Pineapple or pineapple  juice is also great for heartburn.

Answer

I buy the extra strength smoothies tums and they usually work and they taste really good. Sometimes I have to take multiple doses but I don't mind. Taking pills while pregnant makes me nervous so I prefer the tums. Also I noticed someone on here mentioned to drinks lots of water but I had acid reflux before I even got pregnant and my doctor always said water makes it worse. But the baby needs water so drink it anyway, id just make sure you eat first otherwise it can really make it worse. Hope it gets better 😊

Answer

Im 32+4 and even cookies give me heartburn 😩. What has been helping me is fresh celery and drinkable yogurts and a lot of water of course.
