Thread: Constipation and Wind

During pregnancy - what can you take to relieve it?

That should say trapped wind!!!

something you want to share???

Eat plenty of fruit. Helps with the constipation but not sure about the wind.

Yes - My sister is having a baby!!!

why do you ask??

I had some trapped wind the other day - and I took some of Henry's Gripe Water. Also see this from Rennies. How about homeopathic remedies?

Uptake the fruit, veg and rough fibre (bowl of All Bran each day is a good thing), peppermint tea for the trapped wind - also, sounds odd, but changing position can sometimes free it!
Is your sister on iron tablets or anything like that? These could be the root cause, so if they're presribed I'd recommend her seeing her GP to make sure the dosage is OK

I good hard rip roaring fart sorts it out.

Usually if I have trapped wind either gulping a glass of fizzy juice or drinking some warm water sorts it. For constipation, fresh orange juice

Well, the constipation is hormonal so even if you have loads of fibre and fruit you might not sort it out. Personally I think if you can't fart when you're pregnant when can you? I say fart away! Its one of the privileges of pregnancy.....terrible manners!
