Gas!!

[J2]

Ouch! I woke with this a couple of weeks ago too and it lasted for 12 hours! I woke at 5:30 this morning with bad gas again and definitely hoping it goes away soon. It makes my belly hurt so much. And my back is hurting too, especially lower back. This type of gas reminds me of transition with DS. Yes, either that means the gas is really bad or transition for me isn't that bad. Maybe a combo of both.

I am doing alright sitting up at the computer but if I move or try to lay down then it intensifies. So can I just reiterate though...

It.Really.Hurts!!!! And....I would just like to be able to sleep!

It honestly sounds a lot like labor to me ... my mom said most of her contractions felt like painful gas!

Can you get up and walk around and possibly dis-lodge the gas? Maybe be labor mama...when are you due?

Shoot, I've had the farts for the last week like it's going outta style!

Getting on my hands and knees and rocking helps release the pressure

I'm due the 24th...so I'm 38wks + 1day right now. I don't think its labor...at least not yet. The pain/discomfort is constant. It doesn't come and go like contractions and doesn't get worse when I have a contraction.

It got a little better and I was able to go to go sleep comfortably. My belly is still sore and still have some bathroom trips to make, etc. So hopefully it will be gone soon. It lasted 12hrs when this happened 2 weeks ago! And I even walked around a lot but that didn't help! I also tried a hot shower and even settled on gas-x. Nothing worked until the pain just decided to go away on its own 12 hrs later.

I do think I am getting ever closer to labor though. I had contractions/BHs last night under 5 mins but they decreased in strength and spread out after I drank more water...but I really wasn't dehydrated to begin with. And I am having contractions/BHs this morning, which normally I don't really have in the morning. Haven't timed them yet or drank a bunch of water - I just got out of bed. So we'll see...

I've had a ton of gas... and i can't seem to control it. I fart wherever I go! It's so embarrassing! It's also painful too when it gets stuck someplace in my system. It was the worst last month when it kept getting trapped in my intestines and causing horrendous pain!

[J2]

You see...I'm not, er, farting at all...its just all trapped. Its mostly better now though - thankfully! As it caused a great deal of back and belly pain.

In the very first stages of labor with my first I wondered if it was just gas... but then it soon became very apparent that it wasn't. I've had some painful gas this time, but not as bad as the first time. Actually, I'd forgotten about that until now. Thanks for reminding me of another reason why this pregnancy is not so bad!
