Tums is the one most prescribed by O.B.'s.
Don't get the ones with calcium though because they can make the heartburn worse.

I had really bad heartburn my entire pregnancy. I told my doctor and he told me to use Tums. Tums worked for a little while, but the heartburn would soon come back. He told me to try Xantac. I used that once a day and Tums throughout the day. I would ask your doctor what he thinks, but Tums was a lifesaver for me.

Check with your doctor for a list of all safe medications to take during pregnancy. Heartburn is a common problem while you are pregnant. I could not drink water with out getting heartburn. I always drank a glass of water with a teaspoon of baking soda to get rid of it. Good luck.

In the UK they prescribe 'Gaviscom' but as most indigestion / heartburn solutions are calcium based there shouldnt be a problem with buying any preparatory brands, Pharmacists are friendly people why not ask for their advice
Good luck

Tums, and drinking ice water. You can try a glass of milk, that helps some people.
Check with your doctor, but most will allow you to take philips or maloxx. But check first. You have to be extra careful what you take into your body durring the rapid growth stage of fetal development, (the first three months).
But regular tums are safe.

I lived on Tums and Rolaids for the first 4 month of my pregnancy. Give them a try.
