tums, maalox. I like the maalox tablets. I think Gaviscon too. My doc said i could keep using prilosec (even though its class C). I havn't had any trouble with heartburn.

tums, but near the end it gets so bad for me, especially with Curtis so I would chug milk and that's sooooo nasty!!! I'm not a milk drinker... but it helped!

Yep, can't take pepto while you're nursing either! Tums, Maalox, Gaviscon, etc.

same here! I'd never had heartburn before (ever!) until my third trimester and then every night before bed I would drink a glass of milk and eat a couple tums.

I never drank regular milk until I was pregnant, but fortunately it didn't taste awful as long as it was really cold and I drank it quick! (or if it was chocolate )

I never had heartburn during my pregnancy. Hopefully one of the other suggestions work.

I used Nexium. I hated tums. Plus I was afraid of ODing on the calcium since I've had a kidney stone in the past.

Definitely milk. I hate tums, but I chug milk like you wouldn't believe. And it is good for you, so that's always a plus! I swear I go through like 2.5 gallons a week, by myself.
