Trapped Gas

Hey ladies, just out of curiosity, has anyone else had severe gas pains? I had experienced two episodes of severe pain prior to becoming pregnant but last night was my first time experiencing it while pregnant. It was horrible! I only go about 3 hours sleep as it kept me awake. It was so painful low in my abdomen and even into my back. My poor husband was so worried and wanted me to go to emergency but I knew what it was from previous experiences. I tried different positions, medications, hot showers, nothing really worked. Finally I sent my husband to get me a coffee as I know it doesn't agree with me. Finally about 2 hours I drank the coffee the pain had subsided enough to where I could get some sleep. The pain had pretty much subsided completely but came back  a little while ago. Hoping it doesn't get as bad as last night or I will be making a trip to emergency. Anyway, I know this was long but does anyone have any tips on how to manage and prevent this? Thanks☺️
