Buyer beware.
Pregnancy heartburn is unbearable. I honestly thought I was having a heart attack on more than one occasion.
When pregnant with my son over 6 years ago, I didn't know of the oils and used various over-the-counter drugs. The pain was generally relieved, though it sometimes took a bit, but I regret the exposure to drugs for him and know the OTC meds were only relieving symptoms.
While pregnant with my daughter last year, I experienced the same heart burn, but found relief in AlkaLime and the DiGize oil blend. I was amazed to see how quickly they brought relief. Either the pain would go away, or I would start to burp and then relief would come.
I even took AlkaLime the DiGize blend with me if we went to church or to our parenting class an hour away as I did not want to be stranded without them! I also paid attention to what foods caused the heartburn and avoided them.
