Heartburn In Pregnancy

Q.I remember the first time I ever had heartburn was when I was pregnant with my first. What I don't remember was how bad my heartburn got. Is it at all normal in any way to have heartburn so badly, the bile comes up to your tonsils enough that it feels like your throat was burned from the acidic fluids? I ate pizza rolls last night, right before bedtime and knew it was a mistake. The rest of the night I'd wake up with it burning from throat to chest. I know this is temporary because immediately after my gall bladder was removed, all indigestion ceased until this last month of pregnancy, which is normal. Can anyone help me please?

A.the first thing you need to do is cut out fatty stuff from your diet. The next is consider getting a roll of Tums. They are safe even for pregnant and nursing moms. Basically, consider yourself to be on the healthy diet of the world until Eve makes her appearance. Most of my friends who get pregnant have heartburn in the later stages. It is kind of a fact of life for late pregnancy. For the moment, I've done a little damage control, such as cutting out tomato sauce before bedtime. Heartburn is hell. I don't know if it's acid reflux though. I think if it is, then I'd really really like to know why my doctor gave me a Prilosec prescription for acid reflux last year because I danged sure didn't hurt in the same way like I did last night. I consumed a half a pizza (again) today for lunch, but tonight I stick to bland bland bland I did take Pepcid AC for it though. I was out of tums. I'm sorta squimish about something that strong when the only thing I've been specifically told was Tums so I will ask that Wednesday. I *think* it'll be ok though. Most everything you can take before you're pregnant can be taken in the last trimester, so saith both my GP and my OB. Not everything, but a good bit of it just so the baby is in certain stages. Vitamins.. eh.. I'm very very bad about that. I upped my spinach intake on that reason alone lately. It's easier to remember eat vitamin rich foods than to take a pill for me. Mom lectures. "The doctor didn't ask if you eat enough spinach did she???? Well no mom, she didn't."
