Yep, it's pretty normal. I've been a little gassy my entire pregnancy. I am coming up on 34 weeks and I think it's a little worse than it was before.

yes, i do actually break wind way more that 1 an hour... but when it's not as bad it's at least once an hour... usually it's about every 5-10 minutes though lol..

but now i'm just happy to know i'm not the only one with gassious problems lol

I burp and pass gas all the time now. My husband says that I am the one in the relationship that acts like a guy now. I don't mean to act like a guy but I can't really help it. Besides, it hurts to hold the gas in!

All these comments are hilarious, I'm so glad it's not just me. Constipation was the worst symptom I had, so I had to increase my fiber intake which has resulted in major gas. It's hard to be feminine for my husband when I burp and fart all the time and can't fit into my clothes. Last night I farted so loud that my husband gave me the strangest look, and I burst into tears (thanks pregnancy hormones). He laughed and held me, but I was mortified. What surprises me is the sheer volume that is released at one time. Can my baby hear this?
