Hey ladies,

Wanted to ask for some advice on heartburn.
I am 20 weeks today :) but for the past few weeks have been getting quite bothersome heartburn.

Has anyone else had this at this stage and will it go away? Can I take anything to relieve it as it makes me feel quite sick?

Thanks gals

I take zantac cause I can't stomach tums. I have horrible heartburn every day. Another treatment that I found to work is chewing sugarless gum for 30 minutes after eating anything that causes heartburn.

The gum helps a lot for me.

TUMS is my savior.... I have to drink water after I chew them, but I live on them. I can't take Zantac...
