Does anyone know if I can take pepto bismol pills for heartburn? It says to ask your doctor on the bottle, but they are closed and my chest is on fire! Thanks!

jessberr31 - 948 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I took it before when I was preggo. But with this last pgncy I took some generic zantac in the morning and evening and it helped soooooooo much! Tums/Rolaids never worked and I was miserable through all of my first 3 pgncys, and when I joined this site a lot of ladies reccomended it and it worked so good! I could even eat pizza! Never could before! And I got it at the Family Dollar for like $3 for the generic, 30 pills 75mg ea. But if I had to take something and pepto was the only thing available I would deff take it, lol!

brittneydaneille90 - 948 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) i was told to stay away from pepto, becuase of one of the chemicals that are in it are bad for the baby. The bottle and the pills contain the same chems

kaekae4 - 948 days ago Yeah I've heard that too. If our son is anything like me and his dad when he's born, he'll be lucky to have hair by the time he is 2!! =] I think the heartburn is more thanks to a Papa Johns craving I had to fulfill!!

LiveLoveLaugh - 948 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I did, I had crazy heart burn. To be honest, NOTHING cured it while I was pregnant. & they say if you have bad heratburn, the baby will have a head full of hair. I don't know how true it is, but my baby did! Lots!
