Gas is totally normal. Don't be surprised if your pants get tight, too. The muscles in your abdomen are relaxking (to make room for an enlarging uterus) so your digestion is slowing down. Try staying away from things that make it worse (broccoli, potatoes, etc.) and drinking in between meals instead of during meals.
The gas pains may also be your uterus "stretching out" to accomodate the baby. It will double in size over the next few weeks.

From personal experience, I'd say it is normal! And everyone I know that has been pregnant has complained of the same thing, but not as early as you are experiencing it. Heartburn and gas were terrible, but propping up on pillows to sleep and avoiding eating approximately 4 hours before bedtime helped tremendously.

Just about everyone has an excess of gas while they are pregnant. Don't worry, the best is yet to come! Wait till you are 8 months and have no room in your belly for anything but baby!

yes having gas during pregnancy is very normal and i will forwarn you that with the vits. it'll get worse. and be happy that you're burping all the time.

Totally normal. Sometimes I feel like I am going to pop with all the air in me! The joys of pregnancy.

Yeah, it is normal. LUCKILY (well in my case) it isn't smelly lol. The gas part does suck though, especially if you are not home alone or can run and hide. I have had alot of friends say the same thing, gas gas gas

"Don't be surprised if you find yourself belching like a champion beer drinker."
Six weeks pregnant here and have been EXTREMELY gassy for two weeks - mostly burping - I could out-belch a champion beer drinker with using only drinking water! I can also HEAR the gas moving through my intestines it is so loud!!! It's apparently rather common.
