Freaking out a little so am turning to u lovely guys to calm me the f down !

When I laid down in bed before I noticed a doodle shaped 'something' protruding out of my belly, from about the bottom of my right side rib cage on a angle over to my left hip bone. So I pushed on it, not painful or uncomfortable but it moved !!!! I pushed it around back up so it was going across from the bottom of my ribs from left to right and it kinda sunk back in iykwim?! .. ATM I can feel it, it's fairly hard but not sticking out anymore.

I'm 5ft 8 and 50kgs so it's easy to see when something is poking out. I do have suspected gallstones which I haven't looked into as of yet, definately not pregnant, I wouldn't think constipation as im quite regular ..

Any ideas ? I will go to the dr tomorrow or Tuesday but just curious !

Could it be a hernia? Don't want to freak you out, just my DS has one and that's what I thought of. Definitely check it out, hope it's not something serious.

It sounds like a hernia. Get it checked out, but don't stress as they are fairly easy to fix, and usually don't have serious complications. The important thing is to get it checked before it gets any bigger.

Let us know how you go!

Yeah it sounds like a hernia, I have one too that moves around just under my ribcage.

Get it checked ASAP because they need to determine what type it is, whether there is a hole in your diaphragm or just a weakness. Holes genuinely need surgery to repair them

How do I know if there is a hole? Or no symptoms ?

Yup fully sounds like a hernia. Some can be left alone without surgery but DH had surgery on his. Its just day surgery and a bit of rest afterwards :)
