I suffered from heartburn all through my pregnancy too, all the way upto labour, and nothing worked

its got to be one of the worst things to deal with during pregnancy. I hope you can find something that works

if you do please let me know so i can be prepared for my next pregnancy hehe

yes c.a.callum thats another reason pregnancy causes heart burn. i also had heartburn with my 1st, and my baby had loads of hair!

Must be a truthfull wives tale

Oh I feel so bad for you, I know how you feel!! With my third son I had heartburn for almost my whole pregnancy, it didn't matter what I ate or drank, it was just constantly there day and night. I don't have any advice to offer as I was never able to get rid of it myself

I was also told that heartburn means the baby will have lots of hair, but mine didn't. Hope you find a way to get rid of the heartburn

I had terrible heartburn with my first, and I tried every remedy in the book. The only thing that worked for me (this is gonna sound wierd) was coke from McDonalds, or a can of lilt! I know - full of junk, but it honestly worked! Also, sleeping heart side down works too ie lay on your left side. Try it - if it doesn't work, you've not lost anything.
