My Stomach Has Relocated...
Logically, it makes sense. My uterus is above my belly button, so the rest of the organs had to go SOMEWHERE. But the full reality of the repositioning hit me the other night when my stomach was bothering me.... it was making horrible sounds and they were coming from.... RIGHT UNDER MY RIBCAGE. Yeah yeah, I've been through this before, but that is seriously freaky deaky when you think about it.
With Ben, it got to the point where I was basically a temporary gastric bypass patient because he compressed my stomach so much... no more than two tablespoons of food at a time or it was coming right back.
While I haven't reached that point yet with Too, I do have an interesting new symptom that I can't quite figure out. When I eat a big meal, I get horrible pain in my "rib stomach" ... like doubled over, shooting pain. Yeah yeah, I should mention it to my doctor, probably. My appointment is a week from now. In the meantime, I'm trying to keep my meals small... anyone have any idea what it could be? Google doesn't even know. Though I did find this which was pretty cool!
I suspect it's just one of those things I'll have to live with until this baby comes out...
