PP gas/farting tmi - is it just me?

Obviously tmi.  Ever since DS was born, I fart all the time.  I sound like a whoopie cushion!  A lot of times it's when I shift positions/stand up from sitting, etc.  Happily, they are odorless, but I'm not exaggerating when I say it sounds like a whoopee cushion.  It's always this loud series of farts.  I'm really scared about when I go back to work -- or back out in public in general.  I had a vaginal birth.  Is this normal? Does it end?

Glad it's not just me. Though DD has loud farts too, a few times when we've had company I've been able to pass it off as her.

That was part of my physio assessment that everyone thinks I'm crazy for mentioning. Normal, should improve with time, could also be improved with exercises for the region.

I have it too and I had a csection. It's sexy lol

Yes but I totally think it gets better at least somewhat. Things really do just get looser. Be careful with #2 also because I notice that I can't always hold it as well now. That was also worse in the beginning.

The whoopie cushion comment totally brought me back to right after I delivered. There was no holding my gas in. I had about 30 visitors the first day in the hospital and was mortified by what was happening. I just kept putting the TV louder. My mom kept telling me the TV was too loud and I finally had to tell her that I didn't need all my family hearing me rip one.
