heartburn

Avatar f tn I take medicine for heartburn too. And I take a Tylenol if my headaches get to bad.
Avatar n tn Be sure to check anything that you take for heartburn, with your doctor. Some of the over-the-counter products are not recommended for pregnant women. Try also, mint tea -- a friend of mine swears by it and by papaya tablets.
Avatar f tn Yes I love spicy food, but you could get heartburn depends on you every women and pregnancy is different
Avatar f tn m allergic to acetmenaphin(tylenol) which is supposedly the only thing I can take while pregnant. My doctor refuses to write me prescriptions for anything else and tells me to deal with it and there's nothing else like aspirin that I can take. She's very rude. My sister had a baby about a year ago, she's allergic to tylenol as well and her doctor told her other medicines she can take that wouldn't be harmful to the child. She can't remember what they are tho.
Avatar f tn Hi! Congratulations! Yes, it is safe to take Vicodin while pregnant. As with anything else during pregnancy however, the less the better. Take only the minimum dosage that alleviates the pain, and take it only when plain Tylenol and other methods haven't worked. One other thing about the combination of Vicodin and pregnancy is that it is a real set up for constipation! So watch out for that! Good luck!
Avatar f tn You can take tums or mylanta (preferably sodium free). Hope this helps.
Avatar f tn My OBGYN told me that doctors dont even recommend tylenol to pregnant women anymore.

Avatar f tn Youvcan take tums. Just try to watch how.much and how often you take them. Another trick is peppermints. Pretty much any of the hard candy kind will help.
4111382 tn?1356207828 I have the worst heartburn and recently found out pregnant people are allowed with them, lol. It says on the back that pregnant women are only allowed 5 a day... But everyone always says they eat tums like candy or that they go through them so fast... Anyway, is it safe to eat more then 5 a day? I just ate two and sad that I ate them so fast!
Avatar f tn So I'm 33 weeks pregnant. Zantac and tums didn't help. They prescribed me a medicine and now that's not working. I'm to the point where I'm puking. Can anyone tell me anyone old time tricks or home remedies that would work. Besides milk. Tried that and just puked.....this is aweful!
Avatar f tn m 8 1/2 weeks with #2 and have heartburn pretty bad... I had to take prilosec already 1x... usually I can take it every 2 or 3 days and it'll work well... but when It gets bad I have to take it everyday. It won't really hurt baby. :) I'm eating tums like candy... at least I'm getting my calcium!
Avatar m tn I just read this article that says that women who take thyroxine medicine are more likely to have homosexual children, is this true??

Avatar f tn I know how you feel, I get it so bad when pregnant. Tums, gaviscon and rolaids are all safe to take. For me, they stopped working so my Dr said I can take 75mg of Zantac once a day. Of course, speak with your OB before taking something like that. Good luck!
Avatar f tn the doctor can prescribe you heartburn medicine to take but I'd honestly rather just stick with Tums every medicine has its side affects I'd rather not risk it
9584608 tn?1413678892 Does anybody know if you can take any heartburn medication, besides tums, while pregnant. I think what I'm thinking of is called prilosec or something.
Avatar f tn Is there anything that can help with this heartburn? I cant get rid of it.
