Why is it called heartburn? It should be called "all the way up your chest and through your throat burn":lol: I'd totally forgetten how lovely it felt:roll: It's like eating fire. I suppose my throat now matches my dragon hormones:lol:

Eva, how early in your pregnancy did you begin having heartburn?

Ouch, Eva! [hug] I remember it like it was yesterday. Mine was only at night while I was sleeping. I'd wake up each night with acid reflux and would have to pop several extra strength Tums. Those worked wonders for me. I hear milk works for some people, but maybe because of me being lactose intolerant, it actually made mine much worse.
Hugs, sistah! Feelin' your pain over here. [heartbeat]

Just started a few days ago. It only comes at night, so I guess that's good that I don't have to deal with it all day:-D

I got three words.. apple cider vinergar! Seriously.. please just try it. Nobody believes me when I tell them this but it works. Try to find acv with the mother.. your local hfs should have it. Just take 1-2tbsp at the first sign of heartburn. It burns for about 10 seconds then gradually over the next minute gets better and better until the heartburn is completely gone. Well thats how it worked for me when I was pregnant. Heres a link with some info on how it works:

If you want a doctors say so, heres a link to Dr Manny on foxnews talking about how it helps relieve acid reflux symptoms.
