Heartburn

I had heartburn from 8weeks pregnant until the day I gave birth 
It is the one thing that I really couldn't deal with. It is the only reason I would think long and hard before having another baby too!! Sounds trivial but would need to be prepared to deal with another 8mths of heartburn.
I found that avoiding fatty fried foods and spicy foods helped massively. Pizza also made it much worse.
I was drinking about 3pints of milk a day and taking Gaviscon Tablets (can get them on prescription)
I really feel for you and hope that you can keep it under control

Hey Keely, I suffered from Acid Reflux before I was pregnant so may be the only reason I was prescribed this but I take a tablet called Ranitidine once a day which you might like to ask your Doc about,

I take gaviscon cool tablets for mine and they said to put a cushion between your pillows so that you're slightly elevated during the night.
That's really worked for me. I've just bought new pillows and they're really plump and sit high so it's even better for me.
There are certain foods to avoid as others have mentioned, they do recommend a glass of warm milk before bed time to help.
