here are some ways you can reduce your heartburn during pregnancy: eat several small meals each day instead of three large ones. eat slowly. avoid fried spicy or rich foods or any foods that seem to increase your heartburn. don't lie down immediately after eating. keep the head of your bed higher than the foot of your bed. ask your doctor about trying over-the-counter heartburn relievers such as tums or maalox. if your heartburn persists see your doctor. he or she may prescribe medications that are safe to take during pregnancy.
