31wks 3 days pregnant with baby # 2. I woke up last night with the worst heart burn in my life. I had a drink of milk and that didn’t work. I know I can’t take Pepto Bismol, do tums work? Does anybody know of a good remedy for really bad heart burn??
I did not have any spicy foods before bed, i ate ham, mashed potatoes and mixed veggies for dinner. and woke up at 4am with the heartburn.

Tums will work, but when they neutralize the acid the pancreas senses there is no acid and tells the stomach to make more so you actually take more Tums (ingenious for the company). Zantaz is an OTC medication and has been studied with great safety in pregnancy. Zantac will reduce your heartburn by blocking the stomach’s receptors so that when the pancreas tells it to make more it does not hear the message. Call your doctor and ask them for a Zantac prescription
Tums do work, temporarily. I had severe heartburn with my first pregnancy and took the max dose of Tums every day. I had to start being picky about when I took them so that I hadn’t used up my daily dose before it got really bad! Other than that, stay away from spicy foods and yes, drink milk and lots of water.
My doctor prescribed me zantac 150 twice daily. My son is 5 months old and fine. Zantac REALLY took mine away,and helped,but I have acid reflux. I took my zantac twice daily from the time I was about 12 weeks on,and it was totally fine. My dr actually prescribed it for me so my insurance would cover it. Buy some over the counter zantac 75 or 150 after asking your dr if it’s ok for you to take. My dr said it was totally fine,and my son was born with no problems at all
Best wishes,and feel better!
