Everyone, pregnant or not, has some gas. The average person produces between 1 and 3 pints of gas each day and passes gas about 14 times a day. That said, you may experience even more gas than usual during pregnancy.
Don't be surprised if you find yourself belching like a champion beer drinker or having to unbutton your pants to relieve bloating weeks before you begin to show.
Why does this happen? The primary reason is that during pregnancy you have much higher levels of progesterone, a hormone that relaxes smooth muscle tissue throughout your body, including your gastrointestinal tract. This relaxation slows down your digestive processes, which can lead to gas, bloating, burping, and flatulence and generally create miserable sensations in your gut, especially after a big meal.
In later pregnancy, your growing uterus crowds your abdominal cavity, further slowing digestion, and pushes on your stomach, making you feel even more bloated after eating. During pregnancy, you may also start to experience heartburn or constipation, even if you've never been bothered by either one before.

It's a combination of different things. They have pressure on the area from the baby and their uterus. They take prenatal vitamins which can get pretty gassy, like any strong dose of vitamins. Also, they usually start eating foods they're used to, either by diet or from cravings.
Be very kind to them, though. They already believe that they are disgusting, even tho they're not. It's a hard time for their self esteem. If you're her husband (or babydaddy), never let her forget how beautiful she really is.
If you're the Mama, don't be embarrassed. Demand respect! You're creating LIFE!!!!

The baby is pushing on organs. Also causes trouble with the bladder as the baby sits on it, causing urination needs.
