Hi there,
Welcome to HCM,
Do not worry, Tums can be taken safely in pregnancy, also in the initial weeks and you have not put your baby at any risk.
Tums contains calcium salts which do not affect pregnancy or cause any fetal damage or abortion.
You can take tums safely for heart burn and acidity which is common in pregnancy.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
