Are you preggers?? :P

[Eve]

Define massively.

Could it just be excess wind? Could it be diet/cycle related?

Any other symptoms such as constipation or pain?

[boxtops]

Hernia? Too much to eat, put on weight? I get a bit like that if I eat too much bread.

big pants week?

[joko]

is there anything other than those things that would cause it?

worth seeing a doc?

thanks

Trapped wind? Irritable bowel syndrome?

Answer Jenna´s question and we may be able to proceed.

iim not preggers...but it looks about 4 months or somehting...iver always had a bit of a fat tum...but it went bigger and was uncomfortable...not painful

i sometimes get constipated, but im not now an its still there..

[Sqad]

joko.....with that information, you need a doctor to put a hand on your stomach and have a feel.

[joko]

hey sqad...just been the dox, he said my tum is soft, but when he started pressing his fingers into it it hurt...i hadnt noticed that before because i hadnt stuck my fingers in it..

he did nothing else, he just shrugged and said forget it. i asked what i should do about it he said come back if it gets worse....mmm.

you may remember me having a problem with a doc in the past who would nit examine me and just shrugged it off...it was the same one...

[Sqad]

joko......if he couldnt feel anything....he couldnt feel anything, so just monitor the situation.

[joko]

yes...exactly why he should have tried something else.
a quick prod is not a thorough examination, and hardly eliminates all problems...there are plently of stomach problems that cannot be 'felt' with a finger tip...

cheers
