Is it normal to pass wind a lot during pregnancy?
Mostly.Normal for most people
Yes—passing wind more often is common during pregnancy. Hormones can slow digestion, and later on, your growing uterus can put extra pressure on your gut.
Pregnancy hormones relax the muscles in your digestive tract, so food moves through more slowly and gas can build up. Constipation, iron supplements, and changes in what you eat can add to the puffiness too. It’s common, even if it’s not exactly glamorous.
Eating smaller meals, drinking water, and taking a gentle walk may help. If you have severe or persistent belly pain, or gas comes with vomiting or a fever, check in with your healthcare provider.
