HELP!

I am freaking out! The night before last I was eating chinese and all of the sudden my stomach was bloated. My stomach isnt' that flat but all means, but I looked 8 months pregnant. After about 2 hours it calmed down. However I noticed when I get up from bed, a bulge as big as a grapefruit pops out. No pain, but it's extremely disturbing. I am going to see my FP doctor tomorrow. Has this happened to anyone? I am freaking out that it might be a hernia and I will need surgery again. I can't. The emergency surgery expirence was absolutely horrible...and I can't go through this again. I am praying it's something else and that it's not serious. Help!

Oh and I also failed to mention it doesn't stay sticking out. Only when I get up from the bed does it sticks out, but then goes back in. whatever it is.

The only way to know for sure is to see your doctor...my hernia appeared quickly and I had it repaired in December....I will not lie, I had a rough time since mine was huge. Does the lump go in when you lie down? Does it hurt when you lift, cough or sneeze? If it is a hernia you will deal with it....after all we've been through whats one more obstacle? Good luck to you!

When I lie down my tummy is flat, but when I get up, it bulged out. It's slightly store. Well I did go to the doctor Thursday and there is a good posibilty it is a hernia... and I went in for a catscan saturday. So I am going to the doc and see what it is.
