Acid Reflux

I am 35 weeks now, and I get acid reflux just about every night, on top of constant potty trips, back pain and BH. Any tips to fix at least one of these issues? It makes it hard to keep up with a two year old when I feel like I am falling apart these last 5 weeks. My first pregnancy was such a breeze, and this one just wants to kick my butt :/

I have been eating peppermint tums to help with my acid reflux. That seems to be the only thing that is really helping me.

My doc prescribed Zantac for my heartburn.   It has been working well!

Papaya enzymes have been life savers for me. I used to take them only when I had symptoms, but as I've been running out of belly space, I'm taking them right after meals proactively now too.

My doctor told me to take Zantac which is over the counter and its been great. I only take 1 before my dinner and I haven't had any issues at night anymore.

Eat Green Granny Smith Apples 1 hour before bed.

 

Also, Purchase a bottle of Braggs Natural Apple Cider Vinegar, A tablespoon of that and a tablespoon of honey, mix it with some warm water in a shot glass, and drink it around noon. It truly helps elimnate with acid. I have always had a huge issue with Acid reflux all my life! So bad now that I am pregnant, But that natural stuff helps!

I've had terrible reflux in the third tri and went from Tums to Pepcid to Zantac. Your OB can tell you what's appropriate. In between the morning and evening pill I used mint chewing gum (any brand) to take the edge off when I felt acid rising. The extra saliva supposedly pushes the acid back down, giving temporary relief. Also, you'll need to start sleeping propped up.
TTC since 8/10.Hypothyroidism, put on Synthroid. Clomid 50 mg + IUI Oct '11 = BFN. HSG found blocked tube Nov '11. Lap + Hysteroscopy to remove tube and fix septum Dec '11.

Man Apple Cider Vinegar helps everything, doesn't it? I prefer using natural methods compared to pills, so hopefully it helps! Thanks :)
