NSBR: Ugh! Something is growing in my....
..abdomen? IDK what's going on, but recently I have noticed that I have sort of knots or lumps in my stomach just above my belly button and on either side of it. It's not 10 or 20 of them..just one larger one on the right and one smaller one on the left.
Naturally, the first thing that comes to mind is I have stomach cancer and I'm going to die. It's a fear that my Mother instilled in me and it's not easily shaken. I realize it could be a number of things, but you know..mind always leans towards the worst. I AM going to make an appt. to see my doctor soon, I just felt like sharing this and asking anyone who has experienced anything similar to share as well. Cysts are an option..hernia?..plain old fat balls..hell, it could just be how my stomach is and I just haven't pressed into it hard enough before. It's not something you can see from the outside, and you have to really press down onto my skin to feel *something* abnormal..I think. Crazy thing is though..when I lay flat on my back, my big fat gut gets all flat and I don't feel them at ALL. Seems they only are *there* when I am sitting or standing?  Cheer me up..I am sad and I think I might need a nerve pill.

My first thought is fibroids - does it feel like you are pregnant when you bend over? If it was lower I'd say ovarian cyst. Do they hurt when you press on them? I'm saying a prayer for your peace of mind right now - I know the not knowing is the worst. And stay away from Google!

{{{HUGS}}} Manda!
Stay away from WebMD, too! You will convince yourself you have the most dire disease if you start reading there (ask me how I know  )Get yourself to a doctor ASAP! That's the best thing you can do for yourself right now.

I would definitely get it checked out asap! I agree that it could be a hernia though. I know this is easier said than done, but try not to freak yourself out too bad and just go get yourself check out! I will be thinking about you! Keep us posted!

(((hugs))) Manda! I think it's natural to immediately think of the worst case scenario (cancer)...especially when it's already touched our lives. I hope it's something like a hernia or something else easily looked after!
Alien babies would be really cool...
