a little bit TMI, but what to do about the gas pains

what makes you feel better when you have gas pains? is there something to take? I never had this with my first pregnancy, and I find that I am waking up in the middle of the night with them (almost crampy like I have to go to the bathroom but I really don't)

OMG, I just came on here to post this. This started yesterday and I was a little concerned because I wasn't sure if it's gas pains or uterine cramping. I felt better once I started to release I am having some pains down there but I'm thinking maybe I'm stretching. I'm 7W 2D.

walking and swimming helps with tons of water!

Re: a little bit TMI, but what to do about the gas pains

I had it so bad! (still do sometimes at 24 weeks :( ) Sometimes if I laid down elevated it helped me...walking...but most of the time I had to bear through it.

I found that apples, high fiber foods and things like that cause it for me so I have stayed away from it. Try to see what you eat and when it starts...

for me, either walking around or laying on my side in the fetal position helps get it out. Yesterday I was so bad I thought I was gonna explode, it was uncomfortable for me to sit, my abdomen felt so bloated, today it's a little better. I notice when I eat alot of gassy veggies it's worse.

Chamomile helps!

Drink water if you can!

I took regular strength GasX I called and asked the dr if it was ok and they said yes. I think I took the GasX twice my whole pregnancy so far (i am almost 26 weeks)

Call ur doc 1st before u take ANYTHING though

I know what caused my gas...i was eating a ton of apples and drinkng apple juice.....O BOY! Didnt realize how gassy it makes u I was in bed crying from the gas pains.

NOw any fruit juice i water down!

I feel your pain!
