This is normal around this time in your pregnancy. I get weekly e-mails from baby-center.com. This is what they have to say about it.
You may be feeling extra gassy or bloated now, too. That's primarily because the extra progesterone you produce early in pregnancy relaxes smooth muscle tissue throughout your body, including your gastrointestinal tract. This relaxation slows your digestion, which can cause more gas, bloating, burping, flatulence, and generally miserable sensations in your gut — especially after a big meal.

I'm 22 weeks and I had the same problem. Anything I ate or even thought about eating I would get gas from. My husband and children got quite annoyed but it wasn't my fault. I have 3 kids already and I don't remember having gas like that with them. It has subsided a little bit now, atleast I can blame it on the baby :)

Gas X or any similar gas relief product.
Also, it sounds cliche, but try eating small meals throughout the day rather than several large meals.
Lastly, cut back on the obvious culprits such as broccoli, cherries, beans, etc.

Ask your doctor, I don't know if you should take medicine for that when you are pregnant. There is Gas-X.

Sure, you can take Gas X.
Try beano before you eat, too.
And you may want to see if you're lactose intolerant, being pregnant can make those symptoms worse.

Simethicone.
And stay away from boiled eggs or you'll get the dreaded 'Boiled Egg Farts' aka BEF's.

Ask the doc if you can take tums...
