Im nearly 10 weeks and i am farting like a trooper!
I never usually have gas, but for the last few weeks it has been terrible.
I keep getting pains which is trapped wind and just wondering why pregnant women get wind and trapped wind so much?

Because your metabolism is so much faster that your digestive tract is in hyperdrive.
Drink more water, eat more fiber. Its pretty normal.

the reason for that is because 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 which s why during pregnancy they say instead of having full meal you should have smaller meals with more snacks in between!!.

I had a similar prob but in my chest. Felt like a gas bubble and a few times it felt like a heart attack even tho I knew I wasn't having one. Watch what you eat/drink. It should clear up.
