I have this random large lump that over the last two weeks has been getting progressively bigger, between my ribs and my tummy button.
When I had my scan two weeks ago, admittedly it wasn't that big then (but I certainly new that there was a lump) and asked the sonographer if she could scan it to check that everything was ok (I had visions of my womb having migrated up my body etc etc bonkers I know :oops: )
Well she told me it was just my bowel and not to worry.
But it's been growing and is bigger than my baby bump :shock: I look about 6 months pg literally and when two girlfriends today said - jaysus, how big is your bump and aren't you carrying high :roll: I thought i'd better ring my mw.
She called me back today and said that it wasn't remotely normal at all and that it really didn't sound like it could be my bowel and that it sounds v much like a hernia.
She's told me to go to the Dr first thing in the morning, although did try to reassure me that unless it was really bothering me, they wouldn't do anything about it till after the baby was born.
Excellent (especially as I have got a babysitter for tomorrow so that I can go to work tomorrow to try and catch up on all the stuff I couldn't do over the last x weeks having had such horrific morning sickness :roll: God I seem like such a malingering git - people like me that give pg women in the workplace a bad name :oops: )
Wish me luck!!!!
Ironically it's not bothering me at all apart from the fact I look like I'm hiding a rubgy ball up my jumper :roll:
AND what really pees me off is that all the research I've done on it says it's most common in people who are overweight :shock: Before I got pg, I weighed 9.5stone at 5ft10 :shock:
Has anyone had any experience of this??
