I was knocking these back!
I have been pregnant twice now, and both times, I got serious heartburn. Because I didn't want to take actual medicines until I could absolutely help it, my midwife recommended Tums. During both pregnancies, I was going through at least 10 tums tablets a day near the end, and it was really nice to have the different flavors. Yes, the taste is a little bit chalky, but that's like complaining that Coke has sugar (its kind of a big reason why I used it). They're sold everywhere, you can usually find coupons for them, and even now when I have heartburn (usually after a particularly delicious pizza dinner), Tums does the trick! I definitely recommend them to pregnant women, since you want to avoid medications if you can at all help it. Tums were great!
