  Poor you, horrid isn't it! Baby will be fine, s/he is well cushioned in your womb. I suffered a lot at the start, and it's just coming back again now (great) - my dad gave me a great tip, liquorice! I have about 4 inch long pieces of old-fashioned stuff (sweet shops best place to get it) every day - it REALLY helps. Lots of water (3 pints per day) and an apple every day help too, plus try to identify foods than bung you up (for me it's bread and eggs) and avoid/cut down.
  
  GP can prescribe lactulose or fybogel to help if it carries on. Hope you feel better soon.
