Now I know most of you are thinking take a tums and get over it, well last time I took a tums I threw up. I didn't know if that was because I still had morning sickness pretty bad or just because of the tums, but a few days ago I figured it out. My heartburn was so bad I couldn't sleep or didn't even want to eat anything. I decide to try the tums again. Now I have the smoothie kind which if you are going to take tums the smoothie kind is the way to go. 
They aren't as chalky or gross as the original cheap kind. I put it in my mouth and no joke as soon as I chewed it up my stomach starting going nuts! I ran to the bathroom and up comes my lovely dinner I had just made myself. This would make the 4th time out of the last 4 months that I have actually made it to the toilet.
I am almost 16 weeks along! I should not still be puking! So I now have to just deal with the sickness and the heartburn because apparently I have weak stomach that cant handle Medicine of all things!
I have been drinking glass after glass of milk to calm the heartburn a bit. It is the only thing that seems to help even though it just dulls the pain a little. I will now be experimenting in the next few days with different medicine for heartburn and see if I can keep it down. Wish me luck!

Ugh, my first pregnancy was 9 months of the WORST heartburn EVER! But I like tums! :)
They didn't help though. I took them anyway, cuz they taste good.
I would try a pill form of antacid. That seemed to work better for me. Good luck!
I had heartburn the whole nine months with a couple of you kids. I know you don't want to hear that, sorry. Tums never helped me, either. I learned that if I stayed away from certain foods, it helped. Peanut butter what the worst with one of my pregnancies! Of all things! Just pay attention to how you feel after eating one thing. Eat only ONE thing, and see how you do. Then go to another, and see how you feel. This is a pain in the neck, I know, but you will learn alot of how your stomach reacts to foods. Good luck!
Tums worked great for me....and the Smoothie kind is the way to go. But, I only had heartburn for 5 days or so, and only once was it really bad.....Sorry to hear you have it so bad. Good luck finding something that'll work for you.
