A member asked:

Im pregnant ! in the middle of the night for the past 2days iwake up2 a fart bubble feel all over my belly its uncomfortable is that normal? bout9wks

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: When we are pregnant, a hormone, Progesterone is elevated. This hormone causes all of the smooth muscle to slow down. This is good, because your uterus is smooth muscle. However, so is your intestine lined with smooth muscle, thus your food and poop move more slowly through your bowels causing increased gas production and farting. So while normal... It can be a little uncomfortable and embarras.
