oh yes, unfortunately, that's one really bad side effect of having a baby. Can you take some Tums or Immodium prior to the interview to see if it might help to calm things down for the hour that you'll be there?

Also, be mindful of what you're eating, so that you don't eat anything that might make it worse.

Can u let it all out in the bathroom before u go in?

I had the SAME problem. Except, I had B.O too. It was terrible.
I think mine ended at like 6 weeks post-partum but everyone's different.
I immediately got a stronger probiotic! And things seems to clear up just about immediately. Try probiotics girl, they clean out the digestive tract and keep colon clear.
I also had this problem for the first 8 weeks of pregnancy. It was terrible. No one caught on but me though thank heavens.

In addition to the run tonight to get things going, I recommend doing some crunches (if that's possible this soon pp?) and some yoga positions that help with... wind. I've been having this problem in pregnancy, but I usually can get a lot of it out before I get up in the morning-- lay on my back and pull my knees all the way up to my chest and relax-- seems to help a lot (and yeah, I wait until DH is in the shower for this move!). Or get on your hands and knees, then go down to your elbows, so your butt is up in the air at a sharp angle-- that usually helps. If you can get a lot out before you leave, that might help.

And I think Beano will only help if it is food causing it? I've tried Gas-X, but had limited success.

Interesting... I'm 9 weeks pp, and have this same problem. I had no idea it was a 'thing' - I thought I was just weird!

i'm having this same problem - glad to know it's a pp issue bc i couldn't figure out what i was eating that was causing it! hopefully you can hold it in long enough to get thru your interview tmrw!

Ohhh... the things no in real life tells you about having a baby, glad to know this in advance!

This is quite a pickle...I'm sorry & hope you're able to hold it in during your interview tomorrow. I don't have any pearls of wisdom but figured misery loves company...since doing ivf this past month my stomach has been insanely bloated. Now, all that bloat is screaming to get out & I've been a friggin fart factory. Good times. Especially since sometimes they smell like rotten eggs. Tasty.

@mrsmenow: Farting is a laugh. If they don't have a sense of fun why work for them?

Parp! Parp!

@TurtleDoves: did you use the probiotics during pregnancy?

Congrats on the job!!!

My problem was burping. It was awful. My DH would just shake his head. I also had stinky gas after my DD. I think it's finally settled down.

So glad you made it through the interview incident free! And congrats on the job! I'd been wondering about the outcome these last few days & hoping you'd got the job : )
