Tums/elevate bed: For heartburn, chewable Tums work well. Zantac is next step, or a prescription like protonix (pantoprazole). Elevating the head of the bed works very well too. For the rash, that's a different concern and you should ask your OB to look at it.

Eating behavior/skin: Please avoid laying down after a meal or filling up with fluid. That places pressure on the stomach & increases backwash of gastric juices. Avoid caffeine, chocolate or nicotine. Using OTC omeprazole may help. The skin rash could be many things, needs an exam.
