Hi, you could try constantly sucking a mint.  I had the same prob at night,i ended up propping the head of my bed up on bricks so even though it feels normal when you lie down your actually a bit propped up so the acid cant come up as easily.  I still have it propped up now, lol!

Not long to go and it does dissapear immediately.

Hi i too constantly  have heartburn especially at night and because of it i constantly have a sore throat, i am drinking gaviscon like pop but it wares off very quickly, sometimes a rennie will work but again its back within a few minutes, al i was told is to stay away from greasy foods and fizzy drinks as this can add to the problem, and i too have been told by lots of people that it goes straight away after birth, I have 4 weeks left today and have been having heartburn for the past 8 weeks, it really gets you down especially with waking up at night with it aswell as the uncomfortableness, i try to sleep with a couple of pillows to prob me up abit which will work for slight heartburn.
