oh my goodness i thought no one else had this problem!!! my husband calls it my pregnant belly too!!!! it's aweful, and your descript
ion is exactly how it feels! sometimes my distension is so pronounced that it makes it hard for me to breathe, and actually makes me walk a little hunched over! and after it finally goes away i feel like i have done a pilates abs workout- all the muscles in my stomach and lower back are so sore- like i pulled them all- i have gone to the er actually many times for this- they never seem to know what it is- always the same thing- NG tube to relieve the pressuse and iv fluids because i'm constantly dehydrated!!!! i can't tell you what this means to hear someone else has this- i've started to think that i was losing it!
