Gas

[Sherrybpeters]

I am a first time mother to be.  I am only 7weeks pregnant but I find my appetite picking up drastically.  I am only 115lbs, well was, I am now 120lbs, which is just below the "normal/healthy" weight for my age and height.  I am concerned because almost everything I eat makes me gasy.  I'll burb during and even after almost every meal.  Lately it's been coming from both ends, it's embrassing because it's been happening to me alot at work.  Is this normal? What can I do to contain it?  

Please Help!!

Gas and burping is very common in pregnancy. Nothing you can do other than carry a can of air freshener. Congrats on your pregnancy!!!

I was very gassy with my first pregnancy too. There really wasn't much I could do. I just watched what made me really gassy and avoided those foods as much as I could. Congrats to you!

Welcome to being pregnant with both of my first pregnancies I had gas/burping and I recently found out I'm pregnant with #3 and the same thing is happening again.  Unfortunatly it happens to the best of us.  With my first 2 those symptoms did go away around 12-15 weeks give or take, so there is relief.  Good luck.
