I can completely relate to your problem. I even started my own thread called "Thar She Blows!!" it was that bad. I tried to pinpoint what the problem foods were and I think I managed to boil it down to sultanas or any dried fruit. I would just blow up like a huge pumpkin and the only way to relieve it was to lay down like you said. Are you having trouble with your bowels as well? I had this as well and my OB recommended Benefiber for me as it is completely natural and doesn't pass through the placenta like laxatives. You mix it with water and drink it and it worked wonders for me. Apparantely gas is a pretty major symptoms in early pregnancy and I will say it does get better. I am 14 weeks today and I am so much better now than in the earlier weeks. I hope the same happens for you as well. Good luck!!
