Let's talk about Gas.......

merryleamerrylea member
in June 2017 Moms

I heard that pregnancy is supposed to be the most beautiful time in a woman's life.  All those people are liars!!! I have never felt more tired, cranky and nauseous, and I don't want anyone near me for fear they will touch my sore boobs.  And gas, why don't more people talk about the gas?!?  I am a farting and burping machine. Stinky stinky farts.... and the bloating... ugh!!! It's so bad that its disrupting my sleep at night!!!! Anyone find any treatments that have worked for them?  My husband is NOT enjoying the nightly dutch ovens....

    I read that 1/4 tsp. Baking soda dissolved in a cup of water taken on an empty stomach acts as an antacid and can help.  I read it was safe to use in pregnancy so I tried it this morning for the first time.  So far I've been feeling much better than the last few days and I haven't burped once yet today!

    Going to try this.  Thanks for the advice!

    And OMG the gas never really got better after my first pregnancy. You'd think my husband would learn to quit complaining; it's been 7 years now.

    @merrylea I feel your pain, I've never in my life had gas this bad.  It's terrible and frankly uncomfortable.  I don't feel like a fabulous pregnant lady either.  I feel bloated, irritable and constantly nauseous or hungry and paranoid about gaining too much weight.  So frustrating!

    What to Expect is such a fun movie to watch when pregnant. So many laughs (and maybe tears, too!).

    Gas had me in full blown tears last night and I'm the middle of the night. I think it was gas and constipation. It was so bad, I couldn't stand.

    Just wait until after you have the baby... I ended up having a c section with DD and I had so much gas that I could feel it in my shoulder and it actually brought me to tears. A nurse actually came in and gave me extra pain meds!

    Talk to your OB first, but I was always told that Simethicone is still safe for use during pregnancy, as it does not cross into the placenta.  

    The gas does not get better as time goes on, FYI. ;)

    It gets worse...especially after pregnancy... after is worse than during I think. I thought DH would die the first 2 months after. But bloating is bad now!
