Never ending STINKY gas

I havent had much issues in the way of gas since my surgery (maybe once in a while)... Though in the last 2-3 weeks my gas issues have been bordering on rediculous!!! The smell is horrible!!! I am guessing this is because i increased my carbs and wasnt eating much carbs before i was prego... The other night i had gas pains BAD and had to take some gasx. I feel like i am passing gas all day long. Hubby had to move to the couch last night cause i stunk him out. i must admit i would have liked to have left my rear end in bed and moved to the couch myself. Anyone else have this issue?

I had that too when I was pregnant it got better as the pregnancy continued!!

Ooohhh I am SOO with you on this!
I keep thinking - WHAT am I eating that is causing this? But I think it's just everything! Good luck with yours - Hubby hasn't exiled me yet - but I think it's coming!

It's just one of those lovely side effects of pregnancy.  Mine was the same pre- and post op, but like Beth said it does usually get better as the pregnancy progresses.

I'm so glad that I'm not alone on this! I work with people all day and I am constantly gagging on myself from the smell. I have no idea how to stop this, and its really, really embrassing at work. Did you say you take GasX? what else can we take for this?

doc told me i can take gasx for the gas pain... but that dosent really help (at least for me) to make the gas go away... it only helps me when the gass builds up too much and i have tummy pains.... i hear ya with work.... i find myself hiding at work all day so i can pass gas... it sounds soooo funny but really annoying!!!  christmas day i was at a family function with no where to go and crop dusted a few relatives.... i was mortified! i guess it wouldnt be so bad if it didnt smell so bad and you could let a few silent ones out here and there... after xmas i wont take that chance... i am gonna ask my doc about that devrom stuff. i heard about it on the boards but never looked into it because i didnt really have a problem before... not sure if we preggos can take it.

glad to hear im not the only one :)

yep, I've had the bad gas too.  I read this to dh and said "see honey, I'm not the only one!  Look at all these other ladies and their poor hubbies!!".    My poor hubby has gagged a few times when he came in after me to come to bed and the smell he said was awful.  He had to turn on the overhead fan in our room and spray some lysol (LOL) to be able to stay in the bedroom!!  But I've noticed the gas has gotten a LOT better  now, so there is hope.   Sometimes it's so hard to hold in and I have to squeeze my legs together when I'm lying in bed or cross my legs together tight to prevent it from slipping out.  I don't want hubby or anyone to have to smell it if they don't have to- I try to run in a bathroom if I can.   But I have crop dusted or had one slip out and it's so embarrassing cuz the smell is so BAD (and it lingers usually too for a while, LOL)!!!

I noticed that when I take BEANO (3 of em) with the first bites of foods that I think might give me gas that it helps (chocolate, breads, carby stuff with sugars in them).  You might want to try that and see if it works for you!  GL!

I'm with you sister! I have to say though, that I think my hubby is just jealous because he wishes his were as potent as mine.

Girl I am so there with you. I sometimes wonder if pregnancy has caused me to be the only human who produces Diesel fuel. LOL

Oh...you are definitely not alone on this!  I would run from myself earlier in my pregnancy. I have even had a few slip ups in public.  Talk about embarrassing...    I have to say that it does get better.  In the meantime, GasX does work for the pain.

Oh...the joys of pregnancy...
