Trapped wind cramps

[Sallyjo27]

Hi ladies I’m currently 4w3d and have been suffering with trapped wind cramps. The pain is horrible! (It definitely is trapped wind as it goes once I’ve passed wind) does anyone have any recommendations on how to stop the cramping. Unfortunately I’m not able to go on all fours with my bum sticking up and my husband rubbing my back in work 😩😂 (that works at home)

For me a hot water bottle over my clothes did the trick, relieved a some of the pain and allowed me to apply a bit of gentle pressure to my tummy. If it gets unbearable, do go to the pharmacy as there are a few things they can prescribe. Hope things get less windy!

Did you try peppermint tea? Otherwise hot water bottles? making sure you regularly go to the toilet (have bran flakes, prunes etc) should help as a means of prevention.
