right now im 26weeks and 5 days,
and right under my boobs, on the top of my tummy i have this burning pain. im not sure if this is just my uterus stretching to make more room for the baby or if this is something else and if i should be concered with it.
i feel kind of swollen or bloated too which is normal, but this burning pain isn't...can anyone help me?
is this normal with pregnancy?
has anyone else experienced this or something like this?

Sounds like heartburn maybe? What have you been eating? Try some tums.

yesterday i had...some kraft dinner, cherries, some plums, a piece of chocolate and more kraft dinner after.
i took tums after i posted this, and it seemed to be fine, i think the plums might have caused that burning pain..i think it was heartburn but felt weird.

yeah some fruits dont sit well, like oranges, they make me throw up now.
watermellon is the only one that sits great in my stomach.
i have had some bad heartburn every now and then, so im pretty sure thats all it was.
i feel better now. Smile

i think it was a plum because they were kind of sour and the same thing happened the day before i posted this.

chocolate likes to mess with your stomach acids too.

oranges are acidic, so of course those suck too, lol. My chest constantly hurt the last month, and I ate TUMS like they were candy (no more than recommended though) and it never went away. I think that's why I was so willing to have her, lol.

lol ya i try not to eat too much chocolate, 1 caffine in it, and i limit myself to how much im allowed, and 2 sometimes i feel sick if i eat it.
i stay away from oranges now, the big oranges lol tangerines seem to be fine with me though which i thought was weird, but i love them!!
I bring my TUMS with me to school now, because sometimes my heart burn becomes way to much to handle lol
