Hi everyone

Really suffering tonight with trapped wind - pain around my boobs and back has had me on all fours moaning - and I'm not usually a fusser. Pretty sure it's trapped wind, any ideas on how to MAKE IT GO AWAY!?!

Really!!! I think if you've ever suffered badly with it you wouldn't be saying that

Are you constipated at all? I had similar pains a while back and the cause was spasms from constipation and wind. It was agony. Literally doubling over in pain. Ended up st the early pregnancy unit in tears.

I suffer from ibs and I’m usually quite good at keeping note of when I’ve not gone. But with the baby taking up lots of space I ended up bunged up quicker than usual. Coincided with 20 week scan so they took a look. Was totally backed up. Put me on a huge quantity of laxitices for a week.

I now take laxido every day to stop it reoccurring. If I’m not disciplined about it or fail to drink at least 2l of water a day it starts to hurt.

The only things I found that helped with the pain were a hot bath and massaging around where the pain is.

I would go to the doctor.
