I hate that there is no control and it just happens. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mortifying-post-partum-gas#post-1194675 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 11:28:56 +0000 Lindsay05 1194675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awww try not to worry about it. I know its not the same, but I cannot do a single jumping jack without peeing myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mortifying-post-partum-gas#post-1194667 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 11:27:01 +0000 cascademom 1194667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kegels and other pelvic exercises help with that. I started doing Kegels not long after giving birth. They've helped a lot to get my body back into shape. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mortifying-post-partum-gas#post-1194660 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 11:25:21 +0000 Silva 1194660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would talk to your doctor. They might be able to refer you for some PT to address pelvic floor issues. I've been doing PT for some other postpartum issues and it has helped a ton! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mortifying-post-partum-gas#post-1194640 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 11:19:10 +0000 Mariposa 1194640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm five months out and haven't stopped yet! haha it's horrible. There is no controlling it. :x </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mortifying-post-partum-gas#post-1185275 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 14:34:14 +0000 Kimberlybee 1185275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awww big hugs! It's human nature. We all have to pass gas! I had to have surgery to remove my fibroids 2 summers ago and that was the only determining factor for them to discharge me. I waited what seemed like forever to pass gas. I was finally released at 9pm at night! After baby, I was gassy up until 3 months pp. It's gone now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mortifying-post-partum-gas#post-1185257 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 14:27:41 +0000 Corduroy 1185257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: Thanks, I'll get on those squat sits. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mortifying-post-partum-gas#post-1185253 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 14:26:06 +0000 pastemoo 1185253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Low squat sits (like the squat sit that toddlers do) can really help with pelvic floor strength and help improve control.<br /> I had this issue for al ittle bit and it was really embarrassing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mortifying-post-partum-gas#post-1185249 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 14:23:44 +0000 Corduroy 1185249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am struggling with uncontrollable gas post partum. It's so embarrassing but sometimes when I stand up I surprise myself with a really loud toot. It never happened before I gave birth. </p> <p>There was a horrifying incident 1 month pp when I farted all over my in laws dinner when I got up to grab something from the kitchen. They laughed but I wanted to die, over and over again.</p> <p>Just now, 8 months post partum, I stood up from my cube and audibly farted all the way to the bathroom. I guess at least a dozen coworkers must have heard. I have absolutely no control over it. I'm not even 100% sure which hole it's coming from. I just want to go home and cry. </p> <p>Is anyone else experiencing this? I only had second degree tears at delivery so my hiney shouldn't even bee involved, right? </p>
