    Hey hun, i dont know if i can help, but i gguess you can deal with it like constipation, meaning avoid food that can cause wind (like broccoli), try to walk a little and eat alot of green veggies like salad.

    But if it is persistant then perhaps you can give your midwife a call

    G/C from Baby but I used to get this awfully. I found going over on to all fours, resting on your forearms and rocking back and forth really helps to relieve it, the same with constipation-gross I know, but it was my Midwife's suggestion, and it really helped!

    I had what I thought waa trapped wind and it was actually an inflamed stomach (it was quit high up, kind of below / behind my ribs). I was in soooo much pain. My Dr told me to take paracetamol and prescribed me an indigestion mixture. Just a thought.

    Hi,

    I have been getting trapped wind (it was actually what made me think I was pregnant oddly enough) Its mostly in my shoulder and it is really painful.

    I agree with rockin on all fours, I also get dh to rub my back for me (not very glamorous but it helps!)

    Peppermint tea, Dried apricots, exercise are all good. Also stick your bum in the air as hpefully the gas will rise and you can release it. Hope you feel better soon. XX

    Hi,
    You poor thing! I was the same at 4 weeks. Try wind-eze - they're just peppermint oil and are safe to take. Also, Remmies are safe too. Peppermint tea does the job too.
    If it gets worse, see your doctor as I also had terrible constipation (I felt like all this was stretching my stomach ready for baby!!) and had to be prescribed lactolose. Increase your fibre intake (bran flakes are an easy way to make sure you eat enough.)
    Hope you feel better soon

    Sarah thank you so much,

    I do have some windeze but have resisted takeing them for fear of hurting my bean!
    I guess things do feel different this time. Last time i had no idea i was PG & only took a test when i nearly passed out on hols! That time id been taking lots of pain killers, gavison & had been drinking a fair bit as i was away on hols. I know that might not have had any bearing on my MC.

    This time from the second i got + on OPK i havent as much as had a paracetamol!, even though ive had awful heartburn, headaches & a sore throat, ive looked for natural alternatives.

    Will definately try the tea. Im suffering a bit today with nausea & feeling dizzy but id happily take all the symptoms for a beautiful healthy bean at the end of it.

    Thanks once again for the advice, its nice to feel im not going mad!

    In hospital they give you peppermint codial diluted with cooled boiled water- it really works.
