Sometimes there really isn't anything you can do to stop it. Be careful what you're eating and drinking I'd say, avoid acidy foods like fruit and try eating more carby things like bread, something that will help to soak up the acid. I feel your pain, I had heartburn just like this, to the point where it physically hurt my chest, ended up having to learn to sleep sitting propped up to stop the acid coming up. Hope you feel better soon

i find citrus stuff sets it off like orange, have you tried asking your doctor for some tablets? i got some stuff from the doctor and it really helps, try and eat little but often, its not nice xx

Don't lie flat, try and keep your head elevated. Chocolate milk worked for me because it was a lot thicker than milk. Speak to your doctor as you may need something prescribed by them, my friend had to get medicine from them as shop bought ones didn't work for her. I hope you get rid of it soon

Try some Zantac or MyLanta.

I usually just drink a glass of milk and that helps most of the time. If not.. my dad used to drink milk of magnesium or something when he had it really bad, so you could give it a go assuming it's safe in pregnancy? xx

when i was prego with my daughter my heartburn was so bad id drink a sip of water and spit up acid from heartburn.my doctor prescribed me zantax(spell check) and that worked so you may want to ask for that....and btw there is a saying that if you have heartburn while pregnant your baby will have alot of hair.my daughter came out with a full big old load of hair so i guess that was right.lol

I really wouldn't suggest trying carbs to stop the heartburn, in most cases it makes it much worse

Get to the docs for a prescription of gaviscone! (sp?!), dont stick with one treatment, in time the effects seem to lessen, alternate gaviscone with rennies every week, Before bed drink a glass of water with a spoon of bicarb of soda in it, that helped remarkably! sleep with your top of of your body raised up, don't eat for a good few hours before bed..

I must admit im really not looking forward to this stage, i HATE heartburn with a vengeance
