Like, thought I was in labor pain! </p> <p>I took tums and tried to move around, but there was no relief unless I passed gas - unfortunately...</p> <p>I made sure to be more careful with what I ate moving forward and then it just didn't happen anymore.... I, too, was worried I wouldn't be able to handle labor because of these gas pains - but you will be fine!</p> <p>If it continues you should talk to your doc... But I think most of the gas pains happened as my belly was getting a lot larger and things were really shifting around internally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/severe-gas-pains-anyone#post-391232 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 08:27:49 +0000 Mrs. Tricycle 391232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another thing - if you think you're more sensitive during pregnancy, you can tweak your diet a little bit. For example, don't eat high fat or greasy foods on an empty stomach. Avoid vegetables like eggplant and broccoli, especially raw or on an empty stomach, and be careful with beans - I can't eat split pea soup without thinking I'm going to die. My Dr also ok'ed Beano before meals (though she said no Gas-x). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/severe-gas-pains-anyone#post-391231 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 08:27:27 +0000 MamaMoose 391231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Taking a warm shower usually helps me relax which gets things moving as well. I'm sorry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/severe-gas-pains-anyone#post-391226 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 08:23:14 +0000 Mrs. Tricycle 391226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jedeve: I hear ya! The wind relieving yoga pose below really helps me (alternate legs). You might have to do for five minutes, but it helps. This site says not to do it during pregnancy, but being on my back didn't bother me until late 3rd tri.</p> <p>In addition to the one pictured below, I lay on my back and pull both knees up to my chest and then rock side to side.</p> <p>I guess they help the gas move through your body and OUT!</p> <p>[attach=2158/12/mdbruq.300x350.image.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/severe-gas-pains-anyone#post-391214 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 07:55:53 +0000 MamaBehr 391214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do remember having them when I was pregnant, not that bad, but it sucked. Mine went away by themselves, but have you tried lifting left left and touching right elbow? I don't know how big your belly is but what about rubbing the gas clockwise towards the bottom of your belly? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/severe-gas-pains-anyone#post-391210 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 07:46:11 +0000 jedeve 391210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hellllpppp..... It's happening again! I've tried walking around but the pain is too strong. It makes me feel like I want to vomit. I've taken tums and gas x. Is there anything else I can do? It hurts soooooo bad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/severe-gas-pains-anyone#post-391189 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 05:38:40 +0000 photojane 391189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES. I think my husband thinks I'm crazy for freaking out over gas, but I don't blame him... before I got pregnant I didn't realize gas could hurt so badly. So awful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/severe-gas-pains-anyone#post-391150 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 02:09:11 +0000 sorrycharlie 391150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yes. Prior to pregnancy, too - ever since high school. The stop you in your tracks pain.</p> <p>If it makes you feel better, I got to 10 naturally before I got the epidural &amp; I'm convinced I survived because I was already used to terrible abdominal pain! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/severe-gas-pains-anyone#post-391103 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 00:38:41 +0000 ladyfingers 391103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! I've noticed they are a lot worse when he's moving around a lot, which is wild. I know it's gas/intestinal pain because it makes me have to use the bathroom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/severe-gas-pains-anyone#post-391083 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 00:07:01 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 391083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine were never that bad, but I remember having enough pain that I would freak out that something was wrong with the baby. Then I'd realize it was just gas :p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/severe-gas-pains-anyone#post-391049 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 23:07:15 +0000 jedeve 391049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anyone had any really severe gas cramping? Last night I had it where I was up for hours, screaming and crying in pan, on all fours on the floor. My husband called the ER. We knew it was just gas, though I did worry it was placental abruption for a while, but it was too high up for that. I pooped after a while and it still hurt a ton after that. But it eventually went away. </p> <p>It was good practice for labor I guess. But it makes me worry I won't be able to handle contractions! But this pain was awful...seriously what I pictured transition to feel like. </p> <p>Has anyone else had really severe episodes of gas cramps? please tell me it's not just me! I feel kinda silly to have been that pained by something small. </p>
