Where did my stomach go?
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. |

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! http://www.childbirthconnection.org/...e.asp?ck=10242 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. Often times, very loose bowels is an early sign of labor. Good luck. -- Jamie Clark www.ClarkDigitalArts.com "Kat" wrote in message ...

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. -- Jamie Clark www.ClarkDigitalArts.com "Kat" wrote in message ...

For me it was a not so early sign, but I sure was on the toilet right after getting to hospital. I don't remember this before... But then again, with DD2, a few days before she was born (only a week early) we were ALL very, very sick... It was that norovirus that we ALL had, with DD1 starting Thursday early evening, DS starting on Thursday late at night/Friday early morning, then N and I both not alright on Friday morning... Until Sunday it lasted, I felt a little better (but just tired and weak) on Monday and IIRC, I went in to the hospital fairly early Tuesday morning and they kept me in. That was different, though. With DD1, OTOH, I took castor oil the night before... And went into labor the next morning. I did not take enough, it seemed, to upset my stomach as I was NOT sitting on the toilet at all after the castor oil. Kat, I've got my fingers crossed for you, have a good one :-) LOL I hope it just passes for the time being. DS's birthday is next, not a baby's lol I've been promising him it will be AFTER his birthday (due one week exactly after his birthday) and I have very recently convinced him that sharing a birthday with a baby sister isn't so fun He's waiting for his birthday to be next! I think, with still 3 weeks to go, this one's not quite yet finished cooking. cu nicole |

I don't mean food poisoning or anything, but some foods are like laxatives (lactose extremely so for me, obviously) and I spend a lot of time in my bathroom admiring the tiles after regular dairy products... take care nicole |
