Yep, tons of it and heartburn. I couldn't eat comfortably until after delivery.

Yes. It actually started in my second trimester and lasted until I delivered. Tums helped somewhat, as did papaya enzyme. On days when it was really bad I would take Zantac 75.

Yep. I took Tums and zantac, but nothing really helped. We even elevated the head of our bed. It was terrible, but it was gone after I delivered!

I only had it when I ate tomatoes. So I just stayed away from spaghetti and pizza until after I had the baby. It's all good now! It didn't start til 3rd tri.

Yes terribly! I would choke on acid while sleeping which would lead to vomiting. Nothing helped me!

I went from morning sickness directly into daily (and nightly) heartburn and it hasn't let up at 26 weeks so I think it will be with me for the long haul. I elevate my head at night, eat small meals, don't eat after 7 pm, avoid triggers (tomatoes, onions, etc.), drink milk, devour Tums, but nothing really helped until I started Prilosec last week. Heartburn just disappeared! I'm not big on taking meds, but I couldn't imagine going another three months with constant heartburn!

I was going through a gabillion Tums a night, and finally told my doctor. She told me I should have told her earlier, and marched me down to the pharmacy to get Zantac. SO MUCH BETTER!

Yes I had it, like a bitch, for my entire pregnancy. Tums were like using a watering can on a bush fire, lol. Max strength Zantac and gaviscon in liquid form helper but there was no magic cure. Sorry, I know it sucks.

I had terrible reflux. I went through bottles of tums with mixed results. Sometimes nothing helped.

I had it the entire time I was pregnant with DS. I had to take Zantac as needed.

I had GERD before pregnancy, so that continues. So far it hasn't been *worse*, but that's because before I had it pretty badly on a daily basis already. It's about the same now.

After I got pregnancy, my doctor made me stop my prescription omeprezole (I was taking 400mg a day after my esophegeal stricture!)and switch to 2 doses of 150 mg of Zantac a day (morning and night) and that was a very rough transition---the Zantac wasn't helping as much as I needed. But now I supplement with Gaviscon chewables (they work better than tums) in between the Zantac doses and find some relief that way.

It suuuucks.

So much heartburn. Oof!
Small meals have definitely helped!

Try eating an apple, peel and all - surprisingly, it works. Chewing gum, and drinking milk is supposed to help too.
