Thanks lol. So far I didn't embarrass myself outside but I think as I get bigger it will be worse? And that's what I'm afraid of.

its because the pregnancy hormones relax your digestive tract and bowels so they dont digest your food as well, hence the build up of gas, just let rip I say :)

I'm 18 weeks and feel like I have the same problem! It's only when I'm home though! Lucky me. Haha but it feels constant. Try pooping when you get the gas bad, I mean that's what I do and it goes away for awhile. Also try tums :) my mother keeps telling me tums is going to be my best friend throughout this experience! Good luck :)
