I was going to wait another month before announcing but I have so many IBS pregnancy questions. Sooooooo.....
My BF and I are going to have a baby in September. 
It was definitely a surprise, but we're excited now and my first appointment is next week so hopefully we'll find out the official due date then.
My IBS came back with full force (after being in remission for 8-9 months) the minute I found out and I ended up having a nasty attack. Ever since then, I've noticed that my BMs are regular, even though I am bloated and have a ton of gas all the time. Has anyone else had that occur to them?
Also, what are some good ways to calm all this gas? It doesn't seem to matter what I eat and the rolaids I've been taking haven't been helping at all. I know I probably won't be able to get rid of the bloating.
Thanks for the advice! I am one nervous mommy already.
Oh, and I'm only posting this news on these boards so anyone who is on my MySpace friends list, please no comments over there yet. Jason and I haven't told everyone yet. Thanks!

Oh wow! Congrats!! My IBS was the worst in the first trimester but it did get better. I took my Acacia and kind of just dealt with the gas. The symptoms should get better and by the end of my pregnancy I could eat a lot of no no foods! Congrats again!

Congratulations! I hope you have a great, wonderful 9 months and the cutest little one. As far as what you are explaining. That is complelty normal in the 1st trimester even without ibs. I just always lived with it.

My gas and bloating flared up at first, and then went away after the first trimester was over. I'm only recently experiencing some issues again, and I'm going to restart my fiber supplement. I ate a lot of tums during the first trimester as well, because of heartburn. That also went away and then came back at the very end with avengence!
I had my daughter Sept. 18, and let me tell you, I was one bloated whale towards the end. When I look at my 40 week picture, WOW!!! I mean, I was bloated from head to toe, so if you retain water easily (as I do) get ready for that! but it went away within days after her birth, phew! And I enjoyed not having to buy a super big coat for winter, and wearing flip flops for 5 months, so being pregnant in the summer does have its benefits.
Anyway, congratulations!! Enjoy pregnancy, I sure did. I hope it's easy for you.
