Indigestion Help

I've had horrible indigestion this pregnancy as I'm sure a lot of you can sympathize with. I wish I would have gotten medication from my doctor but I just keep popping Tums which barely work any more. My c-section is scheduled for this coming Friday (the 8th) so I won't be eating anything after midnight. I typically wake up 2 or 3 times a night to use the bathroom and take a Tums. Can anyone recommend anything I can do or take that will help relieve my indigestion through the entire night? I already know about sleeping propped up...I'm using three pillows as it is and I still suffer.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

 

My best friend this pregnancy has been Zantac. You could take one of those and probably won't have any problems at all during the night. My night time indigestion has disappeared since the Zantac came along. Tums did almost nothing for me!! Good Luck!!

 

My dr. said I could take Zantac 75 once or twice a day. It works pretty well. Also avoid anything that might aggravate it. I really know when I eat things I am not supposed to. Good luck and I hope all goes well on Friday.

Great! Thanks so much for the help.

 

I've been taking Zantac 2 times a day since 27 weeks. Tums and Maalox were NOT touching it anymore.
