Constipation during pregnancy is normal! If you're taking prenatal vitamins, they probably have iron in them. This can cause you to get stopped up. Also, your body is slowing down your digestive tract to help get all nutrients out for your baby. :) Eat more fiber, drink more water and possibly, go ahead and invest in a bottle of colace.

The gas. It just gets worse. Embrace it now and enjoy. :) I asked my OB if it was safe to take gas-x. I had really bad gas pains before pregnancy,  and they're worse now. She approved it for me, so if it gets too bad, ask!!!!
