Trapped wind!

Dear god, it's awful!!

The pains in my stomach are dreadful. And I really just want to get it all out but it's building up so much that I'm afraid of a nuclear disaster

Any suggestions?

de-gas tablets available in any supermarket work a treat

Given that you are only 10 weeks (?) I would go and lie down on your tummy. Or go for a walk. Or try massaging your stomach... rub in a clock-wise direction (in the direction of your bowel).

Sue, when I was a nanny one of the girls I looked after has an appendectomy & the way they did it was to fill her up with gas. After the doctor told her the best thing to do to eliminate the gas was to walk. Sorry to hear about your wind problem but I hope it is over soon.
Might be an idea to google wind/gas causing foods cause certain things can gas you up pretty bad. Maybe avoid those foods for a while. HTH

Dumb question...but is wind worse during pg???? I had it really bad when i fell with DD and now i've had it really bad the last few days as well.

I say just go for it!! Better out than in! (and heaps less painful)

Try weak peppermint tea (always takes the cramps out for me) and also you can try to lay in a certain position - but it will depend on how flexible you are at this stage!

You get on your hands and knees, then rock back so your bottom is on your heels. Put your arms out straight (on the ground or bed) and put your head between them (so your rear end is in the air!). This often moves the gas (out unfortunately! )

Good luck!
