What can I take for gas pain during pregnancy!

Hi Ladies,
I am 9 weeks pregnant and I have TERRIBLE gas pain and I have to get some relief! My Dr. is out of the office this week. What is safe to take during pregnancy? I can't take this anymore! Anytime I eat ANYTHING I have stomach pain for hours. Any thoughts are appreciated!

I thought I was the only one suffering with this acidity problem. I am 8 weeks pregnant now and had severe pain and gastric trouble. Luckily, One of my Grandmother's friend brought me "MADEEPHALA RASAYANA" an DIGESTER which worked for me like a charm. Just 5ml of it in the morning after my Breakfast and a lot of relief. This is just clearing out the gas and making me hungry ao that I can eat well. Thanks to that old lady. She saved me. I was not able to get up from my couch. And thanks to this article too. Tried hot water with lemon too. This has given me a bit of relief. The "Madeephala rasayana" is an ayurvedic medicine, and has no side effects being used since 90 years in INDIA. Hope this helps. And ALL THE BEST to all soon to be mothers.

Im 22 weeks pregnant and the horrific smelly gas is unreal. It has lasted 3 weeks now. Its being a normal sound and aroma (so gross) and I have bought stock in candles and fresheners. I dont have cramping...just passing! What to do? Cuz im going to end up slipping while out in public...and I can hide or deny this!

I did a lot of research and have been taking small doses of pepto..it soothes the stomach and my nausea that I always get together in the middle of the night.

Hi

Im 5wks preg and on bed rest on the advice of my Dr. I had a miscarriage before and Im having stomach pains also this time, so Doc advised bed rest. But the problem is I think bed rest is making my gas problems worse. I feel bloated almost all the time and passing gas so much gas that its embarrassing. I dont want to take any medication that can be harmful during the first trimester. Any thoughts on this wud be highly appreciated.

thanks

I am having the same issue with gas pain. i am about 7 weeks preggo with my 4th child and have never had these pains before. I am not one of the people who can make them self burp, but i feel like i may just pop if i dont.  I am moving around and trying my best to just get comfortable. Seriously driving me crazy, Tums has done nothing for me, and as for gas x im to afraid to take anythig without talking to a doctor. Gonna try the lemon water and see if it heps any. I pray that is does, its after 4am and I have been up for about 2 hours
