The rise in hormones during pregnancy relaxes the muscles throughout your body, including your digestive tract. This leads to the digestive process being slowed down. The bacteria now have more time to work on the undigested food before it is eliminated. This extra time leads to more fermentation and, as a result, more gas. Constipation can also be a cause as it slows down the bowel functions. This too will cause you to feel more gassy and bloated.

The egg doesn't implant until 5/6 dpo at the very earliest, so it's too soon to have pregnancy gas--but that's doesn't mean you won't get it soon. Good luck!!!!
