These gas pains are the worst! I'm gonna have a super crass moment and say I've never wanted to fart so bad in my life!!! But seriously, I have a lot of trapped gas no matter what I eat and tums just aren't cutting it. Please share what has worked for you cause I'm starting to feel sick to my stomach every single day cause of this!

    I get bad gas pains too - for me the only thing that works is letting them go. And I try really hard not to hold back the farts! But is your issue that you can't farT?

    Me (33). DH (37). DD (2.2012). MCs x4. After 4 years & 7 months, due 4.2018!

    Gas-x has been working amazing for me. I take it before bed and wake up feeling great.

    Head down ass up.. rub your belly till it comes out one end or the other ... if that don't work and your hubby REALLY REALLY REALLLLLLY loves you get him to rub your back... I would recommend he does that from in front of you .. not behind.. just in case it works better than expected. Wink

    To PP- Yes the problem is that I CAN'T release the gas. Its like its stuck! Head down ass up doesn't work. Rubbing my belly doesn't work. I haven't tried Gas X so I might go ahead and try that next. Oh and I don't think my hubby loves me enough to give me a back rub in hopes of releasing some gas! LOL He already gives me crap about it and calls me gross when it does happen! Jerk! I should just make him rub my back anyway and not tell him why!

    I second the gas-x too!!  I have a stock of up and up generic gas x in the medicine cabinet, totally safe during pregnancy, and for infants too!!

    I had this same issue over Christmas when I was at DH's aunt's house in NC. I was in so much pain I went into the bathroom and got down on all fours and did the cat/cow yoga pose until it all went away. That is the only thing that works for me! As soon as I started moving I could feel the gas bubbles move inside me and I think I (sorry going to be crass) farted for 5 minutes straight but I felt wonderful after!

    LOL

    Phazyme capsule work much better than Gas X especially for trap gas that causes sharp pains. I don't know if it is safe for pregnancy.

    holy crap, i'm dying. it's 1:45am and i'm trying not to wake my hubby up with laughter!

    yes, get them bad boys out. lay on on side with your knees bent (top leg higher than the other) and just wait. switch sides every 5 minutes or so. works like a charm.

    light a candle or something first though. pregnancy farts are brutal.

    I agree about the Gas-X, but want to add peppermint candy to the mix. If you have leftover candy canes, hold on to those. They can be helpful.

    For me, the sucky thing is that it's pretty much all vegetables that bloat me up like a Macy Thanksgiving day parade balloon. Salad, onion, garlic, peppers, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, pretty much all of the vegetable I like. So I"m generally left with the choice of don't eat veggies or eat and suffer the consequences.
