Farting...

I am only 5 weeks along as of today.  I have been farting up a storm for the last 1-2 weeks.  Is this normal or does it have to do with food and what not?  I know this may be a bit too much info... but there not the SBD... kinda opposite except for the deadly part... My DH really hates it too.  Is anyone else out there experiencing the same thing or other women out there with past pregnancies?

I can't seem to find any info on it...

lol. men are fart machines, but I am 7 weeks and have had gas like crazy. During church service the other day while we were singing, i accidently let one out and wanted to die. It has led up lately, becasue at like 5 weeks I even had gas pains that made me want to cry. Especially if I didn't eat anything. Good luck!!!

Haha my boyfriend does the same thing! Its bad when he does it in front of my mother...but she does it right back! Gosh man! My boyfriend does it every morning too, sometimes while hes still asleep! I can always tell when hes about to too cuz he gets all into it, over dramatizes it. Hes horrible...and when I do it (which is always discreet) he says ew! Its horrible..

It must be....I always joe with my H becuase he literally wakes up and either before he gets out of bed or on his way to the toilet he'll let one....and it's usually really loud and long like he's been storing it up all night.....sometimes just to be a smart@ss he'll kind of bounce up and down like he's trying to bounce it out....men are such pigs LOL....

first I have to say that after reading the subject "farting" I had to read this thread LOL...too funny...I usually get increased gas and really stinky ones right before my AF....I've gotten it off an on the last week and i'm 6 weeks 1 day.  My H can't complain though, he's the master farter....is it just him or do all men wake up, stretch, fart then pee???

lol, I think my fiancee has had more gas than I do.  I wouldn't be surprised if mine got worse throughout the months, lol. The beauty of pregnancy!!

I haven't really changed my diet at all.  I am mildly lactose intolerant but it only affects me when I drink a glass of milk.  I have had Dairy Queen Blizards twice in the last couple weeks.  I'm not exactly sure how to sneak in dairy when I am lactose intolerant.  Ice Cream usually doesn't make me sick or gassy though.

I have my 1st apt on the 28th so I will ask them then.

Oh my god I have the worst gas some days. I am not sure if it is something that I am eating but I am not fit to be around. Many a night my boyfriend has left the bedroom to go to couch. Haha I even carry a can of air freshener and it's still stronger than that. I'm not sure there is really anything you can do about it though (at least I haven't found anything to cure it) I just think its one of the lovely symptoms of pregnancy and that our men should deal and know that along with the bad there is something good coming from it! :)

Gas along with constipation is very common in pregnancy.  I haven't really experienced gas increase, but constipation has been very annoying.  Since being pregnant, have you been eating alot of things that make you gassy?
