Yes!
Tums are one of the few medications you can take while pregnant.
They are actually good for you because they contain a lot of calcium! So you and your baby will have strong bones.
There is a maximum amount you can take in a day, it will say on the side of the jar.

Yes, you can. They also contain calcium, so there is an additional benefit. Enjoy them now, because when you have the baby you will never want to eat one again! My sister had a baby and was eating them during labor and she said, "When this is over I will never eat one of these again!" My comment to her was, "Until the next time you are prego!!" lol. Good luck!
Shadi calibur - Tums are fine! Ask any OBGYN. When you are in our shoes, you get a say and not until then!!

yes its perfectly fine to take tums or anything of the sort during pregnancy, you can also get the tums that have calcium in them for the extra boost of calcium which will be good for baby.

yes, don't take more than the recomended ammount, in fact it is good that you take tums, since they have lots of calcium in them, more than the others, but alwyas check with your doctor first, you might be a special case that for some reason you can't.

Yes, it is okay and not only does it help with dreaded heartburn but it also gives you a added boost of calcium! Which, is so necessary in pregnancy and also if you plan on breast feeding.
