    Wind in First Trimester

    Hi ladies. I'm nearly 6 weeks pregnant and just in the last two days have started getting shocking wind pains! Actually, its a cross between a period pain and gas! I'm thinking this is probably everything stretching as it should, but wonder if others have experienced this. This is our fourth pregnancy - the first three resulted in early angel babies, so we're a little touchy about aches & pains this time round. Tis always easier to cope with aches and pains if you know others have been there and survived All suggestions and guidance gratefully received.

    Oh yeah! I had the worst gas pains in the first tri (well still get them to be honest). Apparently de-gas is safe to take while pregnant but check with your GP or pharmacist just to make sure.

    ooh yeah - my first tri was very gassy, and well it's started again in the last few weeks and is now worse than ever I haven't taken anything for it and I've found certain foods (fresh fruit & vege juices especially!!!!!) make it worse than others. I've even grossed out my DH a few times and that is saying something!

    Good luck - I'm sure this Bub will be safely in your arms before you know it!!! Felt just like yesterday I was nervously sweating it out in the first tri now I'm starting to pack my labour bag. Huge Hugs!!!

    I was exactly the same, then it cleared up for a while and now it's back with a vengance!! We should earn how to harness it for re-newable energy or something. There's money to be made :P

    Oh yeah, I had bad gas pains for petty much the first trimester. De-gas was good. You can get it at the supermarket, and I think it says it's safe for pregnant women on the box.

    Yep de-gas if fine. You might want to take some extra calcium and magnesium to, this can help with wind. I usually have to run off to another room to let it out cause it can get pretty smelly. Its just the works all slowing down from the hormones. keep your fluid up so you don't get constipated to thats just awful!
