I have heard it was normal! I NEVER farted, like not even in private! Then one day while i was about 24 weeks pg, me and dh were on the couch being Silly and one just slipped out! We were both so shocked then dh started laughing cause I was going "omg I farted!!!! I farted! Babe did you hear it??" I was so excited!!! Then he started telling everyone! And I cried. Hahahahaha...

After I gave birth I found I felt gassy but didn't fart... I swear my body is stupid and doesn't know how to do it... And I make my husband fart outside, maybe you will have to start sticking your bum out the door? Lol

So yes it's normal for most people!! And you currently have an excuse!!! Go for it.
