Did You Pass The Gas
My daughter is pregnant and we are delighted. There is one side effect to her pregnancies that we do not like all that much and that is the gas that she passes when pregnant. Many women have this problem because during pregnancy the baby starts to take up all the extra room making the digestive process slow down. On top of that many women including my daughter watch their diets more carefully and include dairy, veggies and fruits into their diets more when pregnant. One thing pregnant women can do to try to cut down on the gassy feeling is to cut out the foods that make them gassy like Brussels sprouts and broccoli. Have smaller more frequent meals to allow the digestive system a chance to break down the food being taken in. Large meals are often a mistake when pregnant. Just take it easy realize that being gassy is often part of pregnancy and that others love you and will have to live with you after all you are the one carrying the special bundle of joy.
This was an interesting post! I had to giggle when I first started reading. But you did give some good pointers on how to avoid passing g*s!
