Ah the joys of being pregnant. I have a lot of gas to it's terrible in a way but relieving to. Make sure you eat foods that aren't greasy and that will make your gas worse. Good luck to you and it most likely will not last that long. Hopefully no longer than 9 months.

As your hormone levels change, you become more susceptible to the horrors of pregnancy from hemorrhoids and heartburn to gas that can clear a room. Of all of them, gas is unfortunately the one there is very little treatment for.
Progesterone relaxes smooth muscles such as your digestive tract, so as your metabolism is increased, your digestion is slowed. The best I can recommend is to try and avoid massive gas producers such as beans and broccoli. Also, ask your OB as s/he may have some recommendations to help.
Good luck, and much sympathy from this mom!

yeah bad gas, constipation, aches and acid reflux!! It is all very uncomfortable, but my three kids were worth it!!! It could last the whole time but you are likely to have really good days too. Don't be scared!!

hehe! gas and pregnancy go hand in hand. i would have the farts so bad somedays that i would try to call in to work and my boss thought i was joking until one day i had to wok wih him and he found out what i meant by BAD! i actually got the walking farts that day! oh well, i was pregnant and dint give a rats tail about it. he lauged all day. you could try taking pepto bismal is you have bad stomah pains and tums if its indigestion. ask your doctor if theres anything you cant take also if yur gettin nauseated try asking your doctor for some mediine. my doctor gave me some and it worked like a charm

This is quite normal. Sometimes our bodies don't adjust fast enough to the changes of pregnancy. Don't freat.. It will get a bit better as the months go ... Best wishes...

It will only lasts 9.5 months (40 weeks).
I am in the same boat and am in my 22nd week. I haven't had nausea, though, that went away by my 12th week. I just have the gas.

Completely normal. Aggrivating, but normal. Sometimes it can last for just a little while, sometimes it can last through the whole pregnancy.
