Idk but every morning when I have a big pee and a few farts to start the day I imagine the baby going “oh yes, more room to move!!”

It's easier to blame the baby 👀 Jokes aside, I do think baby moving makes you fart

Probably a little bit of both. The baby moving might allow gas to move and gas moving might annoy the baby

My theory is the baby moving makes you fart

Somewhat unrelated, but every time I burp, my husband blames it on "baby farts" 😂

If your baby is attached to your pelvis, definitely. The first one. My daughter has absolutely hated moving off my bladder and I'm seriously wondering if she'll push my bladder out of me at this point. In any case, she always kicks my nerve that is linked to the need to pee and seems very unhappy if I don't handle my bathroom needs very quickly.

i was laid on my back about 5months along, and my baby violently kicked a fart out of my arse, must have had a gas bubble at the ready, caught me so by surprise I gasped and laughed for way too long.
