This may sound strange, but your doctor check your gall bladder with ultrasound early case. Very few pregnant women are discovering that they have gallstones when you change your gynecologist for her during a routine ultrasound. My daughter (38 weeks) began with a terrible time with heartburn for a few months. She took one look at the gall bladder and found it was filled with stones. Since it can not be removed until the baby is born, are very limited consumption of fats, milk and cut them completely out of the picture. You did not have heartburn and feel much better.

Even if your gallbladder is not the problem, you may find that reducing fat meat (burgers, hot dogs), and eat several small meals throughout the day instead of three, can help. Drinking water instead of soda, tea or coffee a break in May.

I am 26 weeks and have the worst .... Heartburn everything gives me heartburn .. I was taking Prilosec is before pregnancy but my first OB appointment, the doctor said much of what I have for them, so they decided to take Zantac, and eventually stopped working for me, so I finally asked questions about Prilosec and said it is normal to take it and it works soooo much better!

Tums actually gave me heartburn (and again, ordinary water, milk and plain Just Breathing gave me) heartburn. She said it was actually acid reflux and put me on Zantac. It is a miracle. But do not give the generic form, no, not at all for me.

Change your diet, reduce acidic foods like citrus fruits, coffee, of course, / etc Pop reduce spicy food. Height of the head from the bed. You try to eliminate, stress. The changes of Tums might contribute to acid.

I have a lot of Tums --

Make sure you talk to your doctor about that - I found myself with pre-eclampsia / blood poisoning - and part of what I thought it was the pain of heartburn that ...
