Acid Reflux at night

Looking for advice! I will be speaking with my OB at my appt next week but wanted to see if anyone had tips. I’m 7 months pregnant and had been dealing with heartburn/acid reflux for a few weeks. However, now the last 3 nights I have had acid vomit at night. When I’m laying flat down it just doesn’t seem to end. I’ve been taking antacids like crazy and propping myself up a bit, but that also gets my sciatic nerves going. Not getting any sleep lately. Have you guys done anything that helps the symptoms??

Have you tried laying on your left side? That helps me with my acid reflux and I have a hiatal hernia

I slept sitting essentially straight up for the last 3 months of my pregnancy, unfortunately even the prescription from my OB didn't help. He tried graviscon and pepcid on top of my 8 million tums per day but nothing really helped. However, as soon as my son was born it was instantly gone. Literally overnight.

I use generic pecid twice a day and it makes a noticeable difference for me.

my ob prescribed me a generic pepcid and it makes a huge difference

Same as Malaina + tums

Thanks everyone!!!

I get this if I eat within 2 hours before bed. However with my first child it was so bad it was painful for hours I’d be sick and I kept getting told it was heart burn. Turned our ti be gallstones

Have you tried a wedge pillow? It may not affect your sciatica
