I'm 18 weeks and mine are horrendous.
I have constipation most days so it's constant. I had to open my big bedroom window the other night when it was freezing because I was that bad Grin

24 weeks and it seems to be escalating...

I had this, I can't wait to member exactly when it stopped, maybe 3rd trimester? However the breastfeeding farts were even worse and impossible to hold in.

That’s the first laugh of the night, sorry ladies, I know it’s antisocial and I wouldn’t be laughing if I was in a small enclosed room with you, but the post and the emoji just made me laugh!

Congrats on the pregnancy. Farting seems a small but stinky price to pay to have a lovely baby Grin

I did with one of my pregnancies, especially after I had eaten meat!

Well, apparently it's to do with lack of control after the birth. However, for me it was always when I was feeding DD. Honestly, about 5 mins through the feed I could feel my digestive system making movements!
It got better though! Now I have no excuse Grin

Oh god - I have this - it is soooo unpleasant and embarrassing. I even convinced myself at one point I developed a pregnancy lactose intolerance (which apparently is NOT a thing). 30w now and it STILL didn't stop!

36 weeks tomorrow and still going strong on this topic

I think as baby gets bigger the pressure within your abdomen increases and the.... Margin for error, let's say, decreases.

I am laughing my head off at this! Remembering farty pregnancy days...mine were really loud but not particularly smelly as I recall. I would regularly blame other people and look at them all shocked and alarmed. 😮😆😆
