Anyone else really gassy??

Ok, if you don't have a sense of humor about gas, I suggest you not read any further...

I just have to say I find my extra gassiness hilarious. Granted I grew up in a household where my father and brother were not shy! But lately I've felt like such an old man, I feel gassy all the time!! Up until today I was doing pretty good at keeping it in till I reached the bathroom or at least outside away from people, but then... I stretched. Without any warning and completely out of my control, it slipped out! I of course apologized, but couldn't keep the laughter from coming out, thank god I work with people who have a sense of humor and laughed along!

Anyone else have any funny stories?

Listen besides the vomiting in the first part of my pregnancy this is the second worse thing about being pregnant. I am passing gas all the time I know it's natural but it's so annoying!!! Well I have felt with it for this long I might as well suck it up an move on with life.

Oh my gosh yes! I COULD proudly say that I had never farted in front of my husband. 9 years... never... And the other day I about died! I was sitting next to him and the loudest squeakiest noise came flying out. He laughed so hard. Ugh lol!

Oh, that gas can be pretty embarrassing. Lol I tried to keep it in for quite a while until it started slipping out at the most unexpected moments. Then I gave up. Lol Until recently my husband believed those were just some awkward sounds produced by anything but me. When it happened at a museum and I couldn't refrain from laughing, I had to confess that pregnancy has such a lousy side-effect as gas. Now he laughs with me as it happens :D

I fart all the time. I can't help it so I just let it rip. My boyfriend and I laugh about them all the time and I sometimes purposely do it in the shower so he can't escape. My most embarrassing fart came out right as I accidentally projectile vomited all over my nurse while taking my glucose test.

I could probably come up with stories if I really thought about it. But I'm just glad to see that there are others who don't get all super embarrassed ab it.

I mean, there are still some incidents where I'd be embarrassed, but for the most part I quit caring about farting in front of people a good few years ago. Lol. And sadly I think its bc I act more guyish a lot of the time.
