I started taking tums for my heartburn when I was in my third trimester. I lucked out to not get heartburn till that point, but they are safe throughout your pregnancy dear! =)

It's safe any time during your pregnancy.
I had to take them a few times early on. Now, I chow down on them every day at 26 weeks. I have non-stop heartburn. It is terrible!

I started taking them at the start of the third trimester. They are good for you cuz of the calcium too. So don't worry about taking them too much.

I pretty much started right away- like 6 weeks or so maybe? I have had terrible heartburn the whole pregnancy (hoping the old wives tale is true that lots of heartburn means lots of hair…on his head though, prefer not to have a baby with the body hair of teen wolf if ya know what I mean). Tums is harmless from what my dr told me, and it helps a ton. We buy the big container of tums from the costco (the berry flavor don't taste as chalky as the regulars). I'm pretty sure I eat more tums these days than anything else in my diet…I'm like a tums junkie.

they are safe during pregnancy I started taking them nearing the end of my 2nd trimester. sometimes eating a pickel helped the acidity of the vinegar would actually calm my stomach.
