DS1 has been complaining of stomach pains on and off for the past few days. He woke up in the middle of the night two nights ago (rare occurrence), and took an hour to go back to sleep, and only after a dose of Mylanta.
He has been pooping a little more than normal, but it is about the same consistency as always (fairly soft). Pooping doesn't make the stomach ache go away. It seems to come and go randomly.
He also seems a lot more emotional lately and will declare he is "so tired" and wants to go to bed right now. But them rallies shortly after and is fine.
I don't think it is appendicitis - he isn't writhing in pain, he can jump up and down, when I press on his tummy, he doesn't have the rebound pain. No fever.
It does hurt when I press above his belly button, on the right side.
I am going to call his pediatrician when they open after lunch - but wanted the advice of the wise mommas of the BBB!
