Heartburn With Pregnancy

Q.Does anyone have a hidden secret to relieve heartburn besides Tums and Milk? I have horrible pregnancy heartburn and I go through Tums like candy and I might as well just buy the darn milk cow. Any tips to help relieve it for more than 30 minutes ?. can anyone in the group help me solve out this problem?I am really tired of this problem?

A.You can keep Mylanta in the fridge. It's safe. (My hospital gives it to women in labor.) Something about the cold in addition to the antacid seems to help, and you can take it as often as you need to. With your OB's OK, you can take 150mg of Zantac twice a day. (You can buy Zantac over the counter, now.) And, if all else fails, get a prescription for or some samples of Prevacid. That's what I ended up doing, when the Zantac wasn't enough, and I never had another problem with heartburn. I took it up until the day I delivered, both times, and then quit.
