Third trimester - insane gas, digestive system falling apart

[SCDfan99]

36 weeks & last month feels like my digestion has just given up.. all kinds of diarrhea /urgency at points but mostly insane gas... like waking me up in the morning & bloating as well

don't normally have this - has anyone had similar in 3rd tri & please does it go away after!!

anyone?

Of course it goes away after, it's pregnancy hormones and your organs being shoved about that causes it.

Luckily it disappears instantly when your organs have more room.

@SCDfan99 are you me??
My symptoms all stepped up a notch - I was drinking a bottle of gaviscon every 3-4 days, the gas made me wonder if it was labour until I managed to release some wind and feel better and I didn’t have diarrhoea but did have constipation that medication just wasn’t touching.
I stopped the gaviscon and took omeprazole once a day. Nothing for the gas aside from taking a pinch of carom seeds with a bit of salt and I swapped the fybogel for movicol. It also turned out I had some version of a vomiting and diarrhoea bug (more like nausea and constipation) and once that was out my system I felt better too.
It’s more than likely to be just baby squashing everything but no reason to not be comfortable. Speak to your midwife/Dr about what you can take.

Sorry others are suffering - glad
To not be alone
I can’t remember normal digestion now haha

Ugh

Same boat - past 3 days no trip to pee has been able to avoid practically jettisoning off into space from the gas being released, or alternatively I’m just pooing every time! God knows what’s happening inside me
