What everyday foods are good for pregnancy heartburn?

Well folks, I am hitting that third trimester, and the baby is high enough and pushing everything up enough to give me good old heartburn at night.

I just wanted to see what natural suggestions people had for getting rid of the heartburn. This is my second time around and I don't remember what all I did with my first, besides Tums.

I'm looking for more along the lines of what I should put in dinner to help.

    Well Drinking a cup of milk always helps me. I'm 33 wks along and I know all about the heartburn. Another thing you could do would be to try and hold off on your tomato type foods. That's one of the worse heartburn starters for me bc of the acidicness of anything tomato LOL. Also keep a extra large container of tums by your bed at nite ;) Water sometimes helped also, or taking a bath. Dunno why but it works for me

    Avoid alot of sodium if you can.

    But honestly heartburn will happen no matter what because everything is so squished due to the size of the baby.

    There have been times I've taken a deep breath to yawn and got heartburn.

    My grandmother used boiled potatoes since she refused to put any chemicals at all in her body. Hope it helps. I find that starchy foods do cut down for me but I need pepcid ac and tums.... Actually told by my doc I could take both. That's the only reason I am doing both and starches :D

    Banana's are awesome. I had indigestion every single day of my pregnancy, The only thing that helped me was ALOT of milk and banana's. Also try taking some liquid antacids such as mylanta or gaviscon. These helped me alot!

    Green Apples helped at first but my heart burn and indigestion was so bad that I had to get a prescription from the doctor to help me. Everything stopped working.

    i used Rolaids. When you eat spicy food or foods that have alot of grease go for a walk and wait 3 hours before you go to sleep. Prop up your head with a blanket or a pillow to that helps alot.
