Anyone else having this problem?

[Samantha675]

I am having the worst gas of my life. Every single day. It is horrible and just about non stop. I have starting taking a Beano everytime I eat, and I am still getting gas. I had a green apple earlier and thought I was going to explode. My poor husband. Please tell me this will pass. No pun intended!

I can SO relate! I am not usually a gassy person, but since getting pregnant, it's SO bad!

I've been the same way, but I'm mostly belching. It's embarrassing, lol. I have found though over the last few weeks that it has gone down quite a bit, though I think it might last the majority of the pregnancy. At least it isn't as terrible as a few weeks ago. It wouldn't be so horrid if it weren't so embarrassing! My hubby has since learned to cope.... hehehe

Yep, same thing here! Very gassy!! My sister had a baby 3 months ago and she says it's normal to be gassy. I think our digestive system is slowing down in order to get all possible nutrients to the babies, and this can cause gas and constipation.

Gas is normal and it may last quite a bit. I found that my gas sure does smell worse than normal since I've been pregnant, not so great for anyone around me though! LOL But it should calm down a bit as you get late into 2nd tri from what I understand...

Till then, happy farting! I'm sure your bub likes it, supposedly it comforts them.

I have been burping a LOT since I got pg. DH just pretends to look shocked then laughs at me.

I'm not to gassy but much more than before I was pregnant!

I have been taking a probiotic pill, and it has helped sooooo much. I am almost back to normal. Plus I think it was the green apples I was eating last week that really set my stomach off. No more green apples for me for a while.

I'm definately more gassy - seem to be having quite a lot of trapped wind too which is painful!

I have never been one to get a lot of gas, but the belching .......... where the hell does it come from?? Not big and loud, but all the time. I take a drink of water ...... belch, I walk around doing work ......... belch, it's almost none stop!

The other end hasn't been to bad. one thing I've noticed is that I don't go to the toilet as much I used to although I am peeing more. Not constipated as I know that can happen, I just don't want to go.

Hey!! Im glad to meet someone experiencing the same problem as me, although im sorry your goin through it, it's horrible.
I tend to get it at night and just before i go to bed, it sometimes keeps me awake.
I bought some peppermint tea recently and now drink this a couple of times a day and it really works.
Give it a go, hope it helps you too

I've been the same almost from the start of my pregnancy. It's been TERRIBLE!! I hardly ever had gas before but now I can't even really control it and it gets quite painful.

Milk of magnesia says on the back that it's meant to help but it makes no difference to me.

 

[hollie86]

Thanks I think I will try that one too

yup.... me and DH have competitions in bed... how's that for 'comfortable in the relationship'.

 

[anita665]

My OH is happy to let rip infront of me all the time. He's very comfortable about everything though. I'm not quite the same but I'm having to learn to relax about it a little now because it happens so often, I can't keep leaving the room every 5 mins.

Well ladies, four months on I can say it does get better. I am still a bit gassy, but not like I was when I posted this thread.
