Answers:
Tums and mylanta are ok to take while pregnant. The calcium is good for you. Don't eat or drink before bed and put blocks at the head of your bed to keep your upper body a little elevated. Wear loose clothing and avoid acidy foods, coffee and soda. Health Question & Answer

Watch what you eat. Stay away from fried foods, spicy foods, or foods that have a tendancy to cause heartburn such as cabbage, onions, etc. Eat small meals throughout day instead of 3 larger meals. Don't go to bed right after eating. My doctor told me to put two bricks under each side of the headboard of my bed to raise the bed. I still have those bricks under the head of my bed. It raises the head of the bed and is better than trying to use pillows to prop yourself up while you sleep. No one can tell the bricks are there, it is not noticeable at all. The old saying is that the more heartburn you have during a pregnancy, the more hair the baby will have. Good luck with your little one.Health Question & Answer

There is really nothing you can do. I had mine so bad I carried a Tums bottle everywhere with me. The doctor the prescribed a stronger medicine which did not help at all. I would advice you to talk to your doctor and see what can you take that wont affect the baby.Health Question & Answer
