I'm going to be 36wks on Tues. I can't even desribe to you how much Tums has helped me. My doc said it's 100% safe so no worries about that.
One time, I was at a mall a few towns over when the heartburn hit. It was SO brutal and I didn't think I could stand it. I ended up running into CVS and downing 3 tums before I even left the aisle. From then on, I kept a bottle at home, one in my purse, one in the car and I had one at work. Never again would I be caught without my magic heartburn eraser

I had BAD heartburn to the point where I couldn't push when it was time. Milk seems to help but really it's just temporary relief. I went through tons of TUMS, tried Pepcid nothing worked. Finally found sweet relief in Apple Cider Vinegar. I would pour some in a shot glass and sip it down. It worked wonders!! They wouldn't let me have it when I was delivering the baby, but gave me something called Bicitra instead. It was intensely sour and made me vomit. After that I was fine though. Good luck and hang in there. Oh and you could restrict your diet but I know that even water gave me heartburn.

Milk or if you can't stand milk, Carnation Instant Breakfast in milk. I find now that coffee (I know that's not good in pregnancy, but I'm not pregnant) with a lot of light cream and one sugar gets rid of heartburn. Maybe the occasional cup of decaf with a lot of cream in it would be ok to get rid of heartburn.
Stay away from tea without milk, tomatos and tomatos sauce, crackers that are salty and/or burned-looking and maybe wheat bread. (I know everyone is different, but those are the things I find most heartburn-producing.)

My doctor told me to take Pepcid as often as I need it (but no more than the recommended dose of 2 a day). She said it was perfectly safe for the baby and so far it's worked extremely well. I have no heartburn and he hasn't been affected (still kicks up a storm).

Eat small meals at frequent intervals; this will go a long way towards easing discomfort. If you suffer from heartburn at night raise the head of your bed by for or five centimetres (a few inches); this is not recommended, however, if you have swollen ankles.

Gaviscon syrup is the best for heartburn in pregnancy. Avoid all types of spicy food etc. Thank Goodness that you are almost there!!!
