Holy gas pain!!!

Is anyone else having horrible gas pains? I don't think mine are contractions because when I pass gas I feel relief. However it now has moved to my back and is super painful! I have been able to go to bathroom but it doesn't seem to help! Is anyone else experiencing this and if so what are doing for relief?

Re: Holy gas pain!!!

  • I felt this a couple of weekends ago!! The only thing that helped was laying completely still on my left side....then I was finally able to pass it! I feel for you it was not fun!

  • Doing bicycle kicks or bringing your knees up towards your belly while laying down helps.  Rocking back and forth and switching positions also helps.    lol.  It's some of the same stuff they teach you for helping your little one get the gas out if burping them doesn't get it all.

  • A few weeks ago I had to call the dr because it hurt so bad and was rolled from mid stomach all the way down. I have a child already and had never felt anything like it. It was all bc I needed to poo. Took miralax and drank peppermint tea. Solved itself in a few hours
  • I had this for a couple weeks too and it was awful. After speaking with the nurse a few times, she told me to try going off my fish oil pills. I did and I haven't had the pains in almost 2 weeks! My doctor said it's fine to be off them, just eat fish or seafood a couple times a week. Good luck!

    I just had this tonight! My pain always radiates to my neck when something hurts bad so I was laying down for a while waiting for it to pass. Ugh the joys of pregnancy! Lol
  • This has always worked for me...get down on your hands and knees and stretch out forward and put your forehead on the ground. I know there's a name for the yoga pose, but for the life of me I can't remember. Anyway, it works for me after a couple minutes.
  • @Kmohney1 I believe the name your looking for is downward dog. ;)
  • I had this at like 18 weeks and thought it was Braxton hicks but no, just gas/poop cramps.

  • I had this two nights ago!! It was so bad! I broke out into a cold sweat and ended up throwing up all of my dinner! I was so scared something bad was happening with the baby! Luckily, I passed gas and went to the bathroom and after doing that twice and throwing up twice, all was better. Worst gas/poop cramps of my life!
  • I've been having these also everyday for the past week and a half . And I'm 18 weeks . Feels like a cramp untill you pass gas then its gone unless you got more . And they stink to high heaven

    Nope, that one when you're standing. I think she's thinking of child's pose. It always works for me

    It is child's pose! Lol. It's the best pose because you get to look like you're doing something, but really are just resting and being lazy! Haha
