So I am becoming more and more aware of the quirky changes to our bodies once we become pregnant. But yesterday day was the quirkiest of all. I . . . um . . . well . . . I had the worst gas that I have ever experienced in my entire life. I mean it was like non-stop. So I did a quick search to figure out what the heck it going. What causes so much gas in pregnant women? Well, as it so happens pregnancy slows digestion leading to more fermentation resulting in gas. In fact, anything that slows down bowel function can lead to additional gas, including constipation. Oh no . . . I am in my second trimester and it is now that I am suppose to experience gas and constipation. With little gas relief in sight I would like to take a moment to warn the world that I am flatulent and there is absolutely nothing I can do about it.
