It was gas! Your body has a a rough time adjusting intestinally during those early weeks, and progesterone reaaally increases gas while your digestive system slows down and can't release it as easily.

Full disclosure, I had eaten like a bag of spinach too. DON'T do that.

Thank you for your response! I think that I am just so much more aware this pregnancy. I worry a lot but the gas make total sense so thanks!

No it was about 2 weeks with one and a little less with another one. Really awful!
