Hi, I just read your story and is wondering about the bulge. Did it ever go away? What was causing it? Thanks for sharing.

It hasn't gone away, and the doctors are still investigating the cause. My dr is supposed to call me tomorrow after reviewing ultrasound results.

I go to the PS wednesday to have small amt of fluid drained from lower belly. The top is still bulging and very painful, so I will ask her about this as well. I am so afraid to say that the past couple of days the pain has been tolerable for fear that I'll jinx myself, but it is better. Thank you for checking in!!

Thank you! oops. 1/12 was my sx. I should update that. My only concern is this bulge and pain in the center of my belly. Not really apparent in pix. I will try to find another. It just scares me bc no one else seems to have this exact issue.

Hey girl you look really good.   Thank you for sharing your story because it is very helpful to other women. 

Keep us up to date on how you are doing....and keep posting picture updates.

An don't worry because the swelling will go down.  It just takes time and you are really early in the process.  Go slow, do not push it and rest when your body gives you the signal.
