Trapped wind!
Has anyone had really bad trapped wind while they are pregnant?
I've got the most horrendous pain in my right side and my back....around where my ribs are. I was literally screaming with the pain last night and being sick with it too. My tummy was tightening so I went to the hospital in the early hours of the morning to get checked out and the baby is fine
The pain went away but its now come back this afternoon and I'm in absolute agony. The only thing I can think it is is trapped wind as it hurts more when I breathe...and I obviously cnt stop breathing ha!
Has any one had this and how do I get rid of it? Please help me. I've tried paracetamol, antacid tablets and a hot water bottle and nothing has worked!
Love Kimmy

Completely forgot to try peppermint tea, kettle going on now. )
I can't believe how sore it has been, I couldn't get comfy last night at all. I think my tummy is having a wee growth spurt this week- I feel kind of heavy and bloated too.
Fingers crossed the tea helps!
thanks,

I'm seven wekes pregnant and have the worst trapped wind, doc told me to sit on loo and rock! This dislodges any trapped air, I'm up 2/3 times in night with pains in tummy. am hoping it won't be for the whole 9 months...????
I have been in agony all night and all morning with trapped wind. Thankfully it is easing off after a walk down to my local shops
Sounds like it was your gallbladder???
Oh My! every morning I woke up at 3 in the morning to pass gas. was so annoying!
But even then I couldn't pass it as it was trapped.
I had my galbladder removed this year, the pain is hideous.
My pain always started in my ribs, a crushing sensation that would not pass, (this might sound disgusting) but when trying to break wind, I couldn't.
So the ribs start to crush and the breathing gets more difficult, then that's when the pain kicks in, the stomach feels like it is being stabbed over and over and it goes over to the side of your back, like the middle of your spine/shoulders and mine was on the right side, a Backache that would not shift at all, I often asked people to hit me in the back, because the pain was just too awful, sitting/standing for only a few minutes actually killed me, and walking (well that's another story)
After I had my gallbladder out and lost a lot of weight, I finally fell pregnant, after being told when I was 20 that I had pcos. 39 and due with my 1st in april 2018
Anyways I would seriously consider going to your GP. as having gallstones and being pregnant would actually be flipping awful. even if it's to check or have a scan, at least your mind will be at ease!
