    Like Heartburn.... but not....


    I have a question- this happened really bad last night and not so bad sat night (didn't remember it until it happened a second time).... but after getting up for the loo and lying back down; it was like i had really bad heart burn.... but at the top of my uterus. So from my belly button almost up to just under my boobs. It felt like it was on fire.
    I couldn't roll over or move cuz it hurt so much and at the same time it felt really really stretched. Bub's was also moving like crazy!! LIke a chook with no head crazy. But was all below my belly button like usual so it wasn't stretching the top of my belly.
    As it started to fade it got itchy - but when i scratched it; it was like i was scratching in the wrong spot :S cuz it wasn't doing anything.
    Anyone else had this before?? IT was really weird and really painful. it started to fade while i was awake but i think i fell asleep before it was gone. Then i've woken up this morning and its all fine

    Hi Kirley,
    I know exactly what you mean. I have it up right at the top of my bump sort of under my boob's which made me think it was heartburn but it's not associated with eating. I get it at really badly at night usually on the side I am lying on which makes me move to the other side and then it starts there. My ob said it's just the skin stretching.
    Hope that helps, it's definitely not pleasant.

    See your dr for a check just in case it's gallstones not heartburn.
