How do you all deal with the fire pit in your chest (heartburn)

The only thing that helped me when it was super duper bad was a small glass of milk 😅

Not eating fatty foods, and eating Tums like candy 😂

You could ask your doctor about omeprazole. Don’t eat anything 3 hours before laying down. Put an extra pillow under your head to sleep. Eat bland foods. That’s all I got lol I had horrible heart burn too I hope you feel better

I had to get a prescription. Before it got that bad tums didnt work but sugary candy did.

Try Gaviscon it works better than Tums. I HAVE to eat before bed otherwise I’m gonna be starving as I sleep and dreaming of food

A glass of milk gives me temporary relief, but pepcid taken daily as a preventative measure is what has worked best for me this past week!

I was prescribed medicine from my obgyn that helps a lot with acid reflux.

@Stephanie honestly iv been drinking so much cold milk past couple of days it helps for a good 5 minutes before I’ve got a volcano in my check again 😪

@Victoria~ Aaah babe iv been taking highest dosage of omeprazole daily for the past 3 years or so due to a stomach condition but even that’s not touching the heartburn 😓 iv been eating bland foods and to be honest been almost avoiding food and drinking cold drinks to help calm it down.. Also using another pillow helped me sleep lastnight but today it’s not doing anything for me and I just feel really uncomfortable 😣

@Katelynn now that’s something I wouldn’t mind haha I’ll give that a go any excuse to get my husband to stock up on some sugary candy for me ahaha 😉

@Seens could never keep gaviscon down babe tried it many many times and every single time (pregnant or not) it makes it’s way back up

@Rachel I don’t normally like drinking milk but this pregnancy has got me feeling enjoying it and yes it does help with the heartburn for a little while but I’ve been chugging it like no tomorrow 🤣

@Sayra oh no that’s rough. Ice cream always helped me lol

@Victoria~ any excuse for ice cream 😉🤪

Sucking on hard boiled sweets 🍬 or lollipops 🍭 helped me. Sometimes I would even wake up in the middle of the night and stuck one behind my cheek 😅

Get a prescription. OTC doesn’t work for me as I’ve had GERD for years prior to pregnancy. I take omeprazole.

@Elizabeth oooh not heard of that one but will deffo be trying that! Thanks hun! 🤗

@Jasmine iv been taking 40mg omeprazole for the past 4 years before I ever got pregnant all throughout my first and now second but thesedays it feels like that’s doing NOTHING! 😪
