What Foods Cause Heartburn

Q.I am 25 weeks, and I am getting heartburn. I don't want to suffer from this problem. I am now eating and sleeping not well. Are there any foods to stay away from that may cause heartburn? Is there anything I can take to help relieve the symptoms of heartburn, like Tums? Are they safe??

A.Yes, you can take Tums, Rolaids, etc. I would have died without them. I probably ate 8-10 a day seriously. I think that old wives tale about heartburn stems from people eating lots of antacids (which are full of calcium) which gives the baby a head full of hair. So go ahead and eat up.......most of the heartburn is caused by your growing belly pushing the stomach up. It will go away right after delivery. There is really no way of telling what foods give you heartburn during pregnancy, but if I was you, I would try to stay away from spicy foods such as pizza, lasagna and etc. Also pop, coffee and other drinks can give you that feeling. Try bland food and see if it helps. yes tums are safe and good for you during pregnancy ( they have tons of calcium) I am 37 1/2 weeks pregnant and have had crazy heart burn the only things that help me is not eating for a few hours before i go to bed and eating tums
