Hi guys! Okay, I'm having a panic attack (a REALLY long one!). I went to my GP on Friday (I posted this before but it disappeared for some reason ) and it turns out these lumps I keep feeling on each side are more than likely a hernia. I always thought it was my intestines swelling from being irritated. I have to go and have an ultrasound to confirm it. If I do have one it will only get worse not better and can have some pretty scary complications if it's not fixed. The only way to fix it is surgery (which scares the absolute life out of me, I'm a hospital phobe and have been my whole life. I left the hospital within 12 hours of giving birth in order not to stay there!). All this comes on top of finally starting to feel a bit more stable since going GF (which I kinda hoped wasn't my problem but it would seem it contributes to it in a big way). AHHHH! I'm stressing. Thanks for letting me vent guys
