    Almost everything late in pregnancy has bothered me, usually when I got to bed. I've been drinking a small glass of milk about 30 mins before bed, seems to do the trick for me.

    I had a cold last week so cut out dairy to try and keep things under control, but after 2 nights of heartburn I decided a glass of milk was well worth the extra snot

    Heartburn is an early pregnancy sign for me. It kicks in about 2dpo and just gets worse. Things I've tried with last 2 bubs include:
    * tissue salts chewable tablets from the naturopath. Only thing that 100% worked. Called Schuesslar acid neutraliser. Try a health food shop.
    * gaviscon for when I ran out of the tablets
    * things improved a lot when I started a GF diet
    * huge wedge pillow in late 2nd trimester with DS1. It propped me up so I could breathe without choking on acid and meant I could still sleep on my back part of the night.
