I too feel bloated all the time. I also resorted to wearing a pad everyday because I always feel like I am going to start my period...and when mine starts..it REALLY starts. So I can't even trust my "instinct" anymore. Hopefully soon I will get a date with the castle and it will all be over and I can move on with my life...

Hey, Seren
I was just talking to a friend of mine today about how i felt like I was pregnant, almost like the baby was moving. I have a 16 week uterus and for the longest time kept doing home pregnancy tests because I kept thinking I was pregnant. I finally got an ultrasound that showed I indeed had something growing in the belly, but that something turned out to be an alien.
I'm glad to hear there is someone else who feels similar flutterings.

I have a 16 week size uterus, and I feel that heavy, about to start crampy feeling all the time. I am menopausal, and have not had a period for two months, but it feels like I am going to start any minute. I have been feeling this way for several weeks even more than normal and its driving me crazy. For years, I have had a stabbing pain in my lower side when I rolled over to get up the week before my period started. I am sure now, that it is from the fibroids and the enlarged uterus. Can't wait until next week, and I can get this behind me and start recovering!

I can feel the larger one of my two. There isn't pain, but a squooshy, spongy feeling, especially if I bend forward. Like there's a nerf football in there.
I didn't realize feeling like your period is starting might be related. I feel like that a lot. Not just the heavy feeling, but I swear I feel big gushes. But when I check there's nothing there. Sometimes there is a bloodless clot, but mostly nothing at all. Maybe it's all in my head. I've had so many accidents with real blood I guess my mind is running away from me.

Thanks Leena,
I honestly thought I was going barmy its exactly like feeling the baby moving at times, very strange.
Fibroids were confirmed as the problem only a month ago, but feel that the symptoms are gradually getting worse each day with the bouts of nausea coming more often (just like morning sickness). Cant wait to feel normal again.

It sure is encouraging to hear everyone's similar symptoms regarding fibroids. I just went in for a biopsy today, (surgery is in 10 days). I was really nervous because of the reports I had that it really hurts. Well, it really hurt, but not any more than my horrible periods. I told my husband that is what it feels like every month, except for days instead of minutes! I can't wait. The doctor also discovered today that my uterus is much larger than he anticpated... triple the size instead of double of a normal uterus. I also feel very full and heavy and have very bad leg cramps in my upper thighs during my period. Hang in there everyone!

Fibroids
I'm scheduled for a full abdominal hysterectomy on Dec. 2 for fibroids......7 of them.....two of which are 8.8X6.5 cm. The rest vary in size, but the surgeon says my uterus is at the size of an 18 week pregnancy. I get loads of abdominal discomfort.....it's not really pain, but sort of a constant feeling of fullness.....and I definitely get nausea. Sleeping is fitful and I'm up at least twice a night to pee. It ain't much fun and it's gettin' worse......I'll gladly climb up on that table when the time comes!

Fibroids
gals I just wanted to send my to all of you. Nearly every one of your symptoms I felt at one time or antoehr during my fibroid years. It really wasn't until after the nasty lil critters were removed that I fully understood just how much havoc they caused, and also how used to not feeling 100% I had become.
I will tell you, once your fibroids are gone, you will feel so much better you won't believe what you put up with. (I was happy just to be able to sit n drink a mug of beer without having to go to the bathroom 4 times).
good luck to y'all
