OK, this is going to sound wierd but was wondering if any other mumsnetters have experienced this???

since a couple of days ago i have been feeling a slight bubbling out of my front bottom and it felt wierd and shocked me and the only explanation i can think of is maybe the baby is breaking wind down there and its coming out? would it get through the amneotic sack? do unborn babies break wind?

i know this sounds strange but i just dont have a clue?????

Maybe I should get a dog to blame all the farts on, and take it with me wherever I go...
Honestly, it's terrible, they just come now out with no warning. Is it just me? Do your sphincter muscles in your rectum relax during pregnancy or something? It's quite embarrasing. I did one at a busy bus stop the other day. Fortunately a bus was at the stop, which drowned out the parp noise, but sadly not the smell. Oh dear.
