RnB, your story cracked me up, I could sooooo imagine the situation!

I too have fallen victim to the mahoosive single hiccup syndrome and at least twice as much burping.

IME the excessive farting doesn't stop once the baby's been born

<<waves arm ineffectually>>

Since I've farted like a primeval swamp since the day I was born, according to my mother, it's hard to tell the difference. My more ladylike friends tell me that they do indeed fart more.

Slower digestion is apparently the cause.

Thankfully, DH is amused, rather than horrified. RnB's post made me snigger - happened all the time with my ex...

just read 'bigpreggybellys' post snap!!!!!

i dont fart any more than normal, he he! but burp terribly, cant stop it either! better out than in!!!!!!!!!!1

I remember when I was pregnant with ds1, I was half asleep and in bed next to my xdh. The baby moved and I let of an incredible (and I mean incredible) fart. It was amazingly loud, and I'm not joking, must have lasted a full 15 seconds.

My xdh just got out of bed, without a word, and left the room

We have a photograph of DDs 1 and 2 sitting on either side of me holding their noses at the dinner table when I was pg with DD3. I honestly couldn't produce a fart like that when not pg unless I ate only brussels sprouts and lentils for days!

I haven't farted any more than usual but I have the most hideous belching problem instead!

Definitely and my vitamins seemed to make it much much worse!

It is the random burping in public that has caused the most issues for me. Walking along, HUGE burp - people turn to look...

And these giant single hiccup things. Really loud, totally random.
