    Default RE: Pregnancy in back of uterus? Anyone heard of this?

    I would go to an internal medicine specialist or an g.i. dr. It sounds like you might be having intestinal issues and need to get diagnosed. I've also heard of people getting tumors that make their stomach protrude, but it sounds like they looked for that. Since the bloodtests are showing no baby; the ob might not know what is going on as well as someone with a different specialty. I'm not really sure that your ob could do anything else. If you got a beta test and an ultrasound; I don't think there is anything left for them to check as far as pregnancy goes.

    I have a tilted uterus and have seen the sac at 5 weeks and 8 weeks from a transvaginal u/s. Very clearly. If you are breastfeeding full-time and haven't had a period, you probably haven't ovulated. I got pregnant when my DS was 8 months old. My milk basically dried up and I started having periods again. I ended up having two periods and getting pregnant.

    Wow, I just had to comment that you said that way better than I did.

    The biggest mistake I made is the one that most of us make...I did not live in the moment enough. I wish I had not been in such a hurry to get on to the next thing: dinner, bath, book bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less. - Anna Quindlen

    I'm not a DR, so this is just my opinion, but I think you can be safe in ruling out pregancy (at least until the point of the ultrasound, you could get pregnant AFTER that). If your blood test is negative, and the ultrasound is negative, and the DR didn't indicate that it was hard to see your uterus, I don't think there is a baby there. I don't think the uterus is big enough to miss a 12 week fetus in the back or any other place unless there is a specific reason like a tilted uterus. I think you might have something else going on, and should definitely insist on more testing until you feel like things are better. I have also had times where my stomach has felt exactly like it did with the baby moving, but I wasn't pregnant. But, definitely not all that often. Good luck, I hope you get some answers.

    I'm not sure about the positive pregnancy test. It could have been a false positive or an early miscarriage. Your other symptoms sound an awful lot like what I went through when I developed IBS. I am constipation predominant and I always thought IBS meant you had diarrhea. My abdomen swelled to enormous proportions and I looked like I was pregnant. It took me several doctors to figure out what was going on (this was the student health center so definitely not the best doctors in the world). I had not associated my symptoms with the food that I ate but after paying attention I realized that there definitely was a correlation. While fatty foods and caffeine will definitely trigger IBS, lots of really healthy foods do too. Many vegetables cause problems and foods with insoluble fiber like whole grain breads. I experienced a lot of discomfort and bloating especially after eating and was miserable. IBS is most common in women and most commonly develops in women in their 20's but occurs in men and women at any age. If any of this sounds familiar and you would like more info, please email or PM me.
