Reflux: Over the counter medications such as Nexium, (esomeprazole) Omeprazole, Prilosec and Prevacid can be very helpful for many pregnant women suffering from heartburn and acid reflux

Should be treated: Gerd is common--present in about 70 million americans. As such, there are easy solutions if you have just symptoms. If however you have inflammation due to gerd, this can be progressive & needs to be controlled. Start with behavior & diet changes (see prior healthtap answers), add acid-blocker medications (either h2-blockers or ppi's) only with the advice of your Obstetrician.
