Anyone else get crippling pain from trapped wind?

It sounds so petty but I'm really struggling with this. It was bad in my first pregnancy but is definitely worse this time, and most days by the evening I'm unbearably sore. I am usually careful to avoid "white" carbs, which make it much worse, and I get a little relief by getting my arse higher than my chest, but I can't escape it fully. And nobody else seems to have this problem! I feel like a freak, a swollen and extremely miserable one at that. In bed already because I just have to lie down

I've had it intermittently, though maybe not so bad as you! I've found long, warm baths help too.

Have you tried taking Wind-Eze tablets or anything? They're safe while pregnant.

I get this occasionally, usually if I've let myself get too hungry between meals. Lying down with a hot water bottle sometimes helps.
