It's not your stomach, it's your bowels. More specifically, your large
and small intestines which are making all those noises. When you have
very loose watery bowel movements, your intestines gurgle and bubble and
make all sorts of fun noises. I've had an ugly stomach virus or food
poisoning the past few days, and I'm listening to mine go nuts right now!

The link below shows that as the baby and uterus grows, the stomach and
intestines get pushed up and back underneath the breasts and shoulders.
Lovely.

That makes sense. Thanks. That's the kind of picture I was hoping to find,
but I couldn't find one even close to one that good. Every picture I found
was pretty much showing baby/uterus/placenta/etc., or it would show a normal
inside of a person (most of them male as well) and didn't show where
everything kind of shifts around to. The gurgling was loud enough that I
could actually hear it and it was weird as I could actually *feel* it with
my hand if I touched the very top of my stomach (like under my breast area
at the very, very top of my stomach)

Often times, very loose bowels is an early sign of labor. Good luck.

Haha I hope like a few weeks early singn, but hope it does not last a few
weeks! It was much, much worse earlier today... I've never had that happen
before... Having what was like an upset stomach without the upset stomach
part - just the very loose bowel issue today... and only once or twice this
evening. Like it just comes really out of nowhere. And I literally have to
RUN or I know I'll end up (pardon me) having an accident, for lack of a
better word! So it comes with NO warning, comes fast and I learn to sprint
up the stairs to the bathroom 2 steps at a time.

Yes, I know this is going to sound weird, but I'm just wondering...
Google hasn't been very helpful with this one, but I'm wondering where
your stomach normally goes during pregnancy? Up? Down? Behind or to
one side?
I can't seem to find any pictures or info on this, but I've been having
some weird gurgling and stomach stuff happening today.
It started off with very, very loose bowels. Sorry if it's TMI It
was so bad earlier that I could barely control myself. I did not have an
upset stomach, wasn't feeling bad, just BANG! Out of nowhere, I was not
able to fully control myself and running to sit on the toilet with a very
loose stomach. No other issues with that, though, and hasn't seemed to
be a problem since mid-afternoon.
Now, though, I have this rumbling/bubbling feeling. It's right in the
middle, and right kind of under the bottom of my ribs. Like solarplex
area, just directly behind it. It feels almost like bubbles and it's
fairly constant. I don't feel any different (sick or anything) but this
bubble feeling is still there constantly and has been around for probably
an hour, maybe hour and a half this evening.
Is that just my stomach? Where, exactly, does a stomach shift to during
pregnancy? I will have 3 weeks left to go on Saturday, if that matters.
