My Pregnancy Fact: Gas

I can make my husband blush...(and he doesn't blush that easily)...seriously.
Let me just start with: It happens to the best of us...so I heard through the grapevine.With that said, according to the research i've done; crazy pregnancy gas is unfortunately not always something us pregnant ladies can avoid. With our bodies working double-time making hormones like progesterone and relaxin, muscle tissue around our bod will start to relax – especially around our GI tract. This causes the food we eat to move through our system more slowly, thereby causing bloat. Altogether, these factors definitely prove to be a pretty nasty combo.
My words of wisdom: Lay off the gassy foods as much as I can, since they’ll just add to troubles that I am not looking forward to. Other than that, all I can do is grin and bear it—and hope that my hubby's a good sport.
