Gassy..

It's sad that no body ever mentions gas and pregnancy! It became synonymous (in my case at least) lol I find it so embarrassing. Especially my monthly appts, I try so hard not to fart in front of my husband, midwife, or anyone. But i feel like I can't always run to the bathroom. Lol any tips or advice?

Lol i still haven't done it in front of my husband! It's a scary thought I fear for the silent moments when my midwife is pushing on my tummy trying to feel the baby.. One of these days it will happen. . @ Sammy I think you'll give in soon. I don't think I can control myself for that long.. I am 24 weeks :)

For me I hold them till I reach home and spend a long time in the bathroom then couple hrs in the living room alone till be almost every thing out . But this is daily the gas and feeling ur going to blow out and being ur tummy as if full . But I heard there's a medication that absorbs the gases . Haven't asked my doc yet but in my list, just waiting to get back from her vacation . Ps am 7 weeks and it's my first

Lol @nov7th it is an indescribable relief. Like when you really need to pee, and you finally get it done. Addysmama maybe you hold it in for too long.??
