Gas problems during pregnancy?

it really depends on what you eat. i had gas inside more than farting when i was pregnant. if you watch what you eat you may have less gas.

Eat healthy, take a prenatal vitamin, see your OB/GYN regularly, get plenty of rest, mild exercise (like walking) and stay hydrated.  Avoid areas where people are smoking or where there are other types of air pollutants.  Best of luck!

im in exactly the same position, 12 weeks pregnant, and snacking on crap. I spend ages trying to think of something a fancy for dinner and end up having a sandwich, because everything makes me feel ill. I hate fruit and veg but i try get my 5 portions a day by drinking 100% fruit juice (pineapple) and forcing an apple or 2 down. Ive asked my friends who have had babys and asked whether they ate healthy during pregnancy and they didn't either, and their babies are fine, so try not to worry to much! (although i know its hard)

your system is different from my system-hard to tell...you could have "gas" from the foods that you eat or the beverages that you consume.

it sounds like trapped gas! try some gas ex. if this does not work you should see your dr. it may be something that needs attention, medically speaking.

You should replace your fluids you lost . Someone said by drinking gatoraid no this isnt healthy at all .  There is several drinks in the med. department anything with electrolites is good gatoraid has sugar which isnt good . Drinking water and I would stay away from foods that can cause gas . Eat small amounts until  you are sure it is gone . Crackers are good to eat on threw out the day and drink plenty of water and fluids just try to stay away from things with sugar until your BM is back to normal./

Pregnancy symptoms include extreme fatigue, breast tenderness, nausea, with or without vomiting, constipation, gas, and/or bloating, abdominal cramps, frequent urination, food cravings or aversion, mood swing, and increased vaginal discharge.  If you feel you may be pregnant, your best bet would be to wait 2 weeks after a missed period, and see your doctor for a blood pregnancy test as these are more accurate.

That question cracked me up! :)\nIt is normal. Trust me, it is better to let them out, than to hold them in!  It's probably the food that you eat. Different things cause different reactions. Eggs is a known culprit! Raw veggies is too. If you think that is your problem, then you can take Beano to see if it helps. Unless this is something that is really causing pain or embarrassment, then this does not require a call to your doctor. On the other hand,  if you are having painful gas, you may have a medical condition. Change your diet to well cooked veggies, breads, pastas, no eggs and no fried foods, and see if the gas goes away. If it doesnt, it is your call on whether or not you proceed to the doc.\nGood Luck "farty pants"!

Yes it is a common thing.  Sometimes it is the way your position is in the bed. You end up swallowing a lot of air. You can loosen up your mask so there is a tiny leak.  This may prevent you from swallowing it. Also you can take something before you go to bed that will neutralize the gas. It's called gas-x, you can get the equate brand in Wal-mart.

First, stop worrying. Remember that your guts or intestine is like "other emotional organ". If you are worried or stressed it would only make worse the situation.\n2. Check out what you eat, always pay attention to your personal tolerance, everyday can be different.\n3. Some vegetables may worse the bloating: cauliflower, cabbage, broccoli, celery. Beans cause bloating. Some fruitsmay cause problems: watermelon, cantaloupe (because they are high in fructose.)\n4. Your food must be cooked with little or nothing of fat, and prefer vegetable oils such olive or canole.\n5. Avoid spicy foods.\n6. Avoid sodas, because of the gas. Also avoid drinking with straws you would swallow air.\n7. Avoid sweeteners high in fructose.\n8. Also some fruits high in insoluble fiber may cause bloating, check out for apple, pear. \n9. You can have a health diet. Just avoid those foods when you already feel bad.

It could be that she's getting air in her tummy when she drinks from the bottle. Make sure that the bottle is full enough and tilted sufficiently so that she will not swallow air while feeding. And don't let her go to bed with the bottle; she will certainly get gas if she sucks herself to sleep with it.\n\nOnce she has gas, if gas-dissolving drops don't help, there's not much you can do but try to soothe her until she passes it all. Sometimes rubbing or placing her on something warm like a heating pad (not too hot, and with blankets in between) can help. If the gas persists or becomes habitual, consult your doctor. It could be that her formula doesn't suit her well.

YES, there is a condition that doctors like to call psuedoasthma and it is from acid reflux. I have had problems for years with reflux and this last time that i was pregnant i had to use an inhaler. My baby has it too, he has had numerous hospitalizations from reflux that caused asthma like problems. \nsee a doctor they need to do a scope of your stomach and put u on some stronger meds like prevacid...

Gas and Gas pain\nIntestinal gas and gas pains are a normal part of digestion. It can be embarrassing when gas strikes at the worst possible moment but it usually isn’t serious. Everyone passes gas and most people pass gas at least 12 or more times a day.\n\n\nSigns and Symptoms\nAbdominal distension (bloating) and pain\nBelching\nFlatulence (passing rectal gas)\nSharp, jabbing pains or cramps in the abdomen or a “knotted” feeling in your stomach\n\n\nWhat causes belching?\nBelching is caused by air that is swallowed and then has to be brought back up. You swallow air whenever you eat or drink, especially if you eat quickly. The amount of air that gets into your stomach is increased if you drink through a straw, drink carbonated beverages, chew gum, suck on hard candies, or unknowingly swallow air when you’re nervous. The air that is swallowed mixes with your stomach contents and either enters your small intestine or ends up being belched back up. The air that enters your small intestine is either absorbed or continues to your large intestine and is passed rectally.\n\n\nWhat causes flatulence?\nFlatulence from gas in the large intestine is mostly produced by bacteria breaking down carbohydrates that aren’t digested in your small intestine. Foods that are high in fiber such as cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, onions, beans, and bran tend to be incompletely digested. A diet high in fiber is important to maintain a healthy digestive system but excessive amounts will lead to gas. If you are increasing the amount of fiber in your diet, do so gradually so that your body can get used to it slowly. \n\n\nYou may also produce gas after eating dairy food if you are lactose intolerant. People with lactose intolerance do not produce enough of the enzyme lactase which is needed to break down milk sugars. Another food that some people find hard to digest is gluten which is a protein found in wheat and some other grains. Some people also have a hard time tolerating artificial sweeteners such as sorbitol and mannitol found in sugar-free foods, gums, and candies.\n\n\nIntestinal gas can also be a result of a gastrointestinal infection such as the stomach flu or food poisoning.\n\n\nEverybody experiences flatulence but the volume of gas is different everyday. The amount is a combination of mainly nitrogen from the air you swallow and the gases created from poorly absorbed food. The unpleasant odor is due to gases such as hydrogen sulfide and methane that are produced by the bacteria in your colon.\n\n\nWhat can you do to prevent or treat excessive gas?\nChew food thoroughly, eat slowly so that you don’t gulp your food, and avoid washing food down with a drink\nTry to identify and limit the foods that affect you the most\nTry an over-the-counter digestive aid like Beano when eating high fiber foods\nIf you are lactose intolerant, try using a product to digest lactose such as Lactaid or try switching to low-lactose dairy foods such as yogurt instead of milk. Having small amounts of milk product at a time or consuming them with other foods may make them easier to digest.\nAvoid chewing gum and sucking on hard candy\nAvoid drinking with straws or out of small mouthed bottles\nAvoid drinking form water fountains\nAvoid drinking carbonated beverages like soda and beer\nCut back on fried and fatty foods as fats delays the stomach from emptying and can increase the feeling of bloating\nDon’t overload your stomach at meals\nAvoid foods with air whipped into them such as milk shakes\nBe aware of and avoid deep sighing\nDon’t lie down or sit in a slumped position immediately after eating—instead, take a leisurely walk after meals\nHerbs such as chamomile, peppermint, or sage may help\nDevelop a regular healthy diet and a routine of exercise and rest\n\n\nWhen should you see a doctor?\nYou have severe, prolonged, recurring pain in your abdomen along with other symptoms such as weight loss, diarrhea, vomiting, fever, or heartburn\nYou have

it's the breakdown of food that creates gas. alka seltzer or bicarbonate is recommended.

I would use gas to remove it from adults but I dont reccommend doing that for a little baby , the best thing to do is to contact a health center .

This is not unusual especially if you are nursing.  The other possibility is another pregnancy though.  Talk to your OB about it.

1) I wouldn't worry about wether or not he has had one being pregnant you have enough to worry about.\n2)You can safely take a stool softener/not a laxative\n3)Talk to your doctor about being constipated it is probably caused by your prenatal vitamin.\n4)Make sure you are intaking plenty of water and fruits and vegetables.
