Question: My abdomen is steadily growing with an even round appearance.I look 7-8 months pregnant and my belly now extends further than my breasts. I began to feel movement the last week of August although they have always seemed unusually high and until 6 weeks ago i usually only felt them on the left side of my upper abdominal quadrant. Now it is all over both upper abdominal quadrants. When i bend over i feel like theres a large mass that keeps me from normal ability to bend my body over. Multiple friends and family have also seen and felt the movement. I have gained 25 lbs in the last 3 1/2 months, breasts are 2 cup sizes bigger with sensitive and tender nipples, i feel XXXXXXX hocks contractions some that i have to breathe through now. I have only missed 2 periods since April and all others were shorter in duration. I have had 4 home pregnancy tests negative, 2 more positive, then 2 more negative. Blood tests come back negative. I have 3 children already ages 20, 11, and 8 years old. I have had 2 transvaginal ultrasounds results of negative. No one will give me an abdominal ultrasound because i had a tubal ligation 8 years ago and pregnancy tests return negative. My fear is that i have an advanced abdominal pregnancy and because many doctors seem to be forgetful that medicine is a practice thus calling it an Art vs a Science. I have been told by one ER doctor i am feeling peristalsis, which i KNOW what that is and that motion would be rhythmic and this motion twists, kicks, turns, pushes and seems to turn somersaults. I am far from uneducated and have an AS Degree in Respiratory Therapy and went to school for MRI. From my calculations i would be right around 30-32 weeks gestation. My fear is that no one believes me so no further tests are ordered. Why is it so freaking hard to do an abdominal ultrasound, a CT or an MRI to figure this out? Right now I'd settle for an xray. I'm open to other explanations including fibroids, tumors and cancer. But if i end up losing a child due to medical negligence because I verbally have made it clear what I think is going on i am going to XXXXXXX the socks off of the doctors and hospitals involved. All i need is visual confirmation that there is NO CHILD in my abdomen. What advice can you offer? I dont care at this point if i have to make up some ailments or symptoms to get results....the stress is unbearable now along with the feeling of urgency .....please advise. ...

I scheduled another OBGYN appt for today and a regular doctors appt for Wednesday. Maybe I'll finally get some answers. My previous GI problems felt nothing like this. Have you ever had a patient with distension like this, no pain except after eating on deep inspiration, with feelings of movement? If so and even if not, what was possible or actual diagnosis? What would you assume as first suspicion if I had come to you first as far as next tests or thoughts of initial diagnosis? My stomach was flat end of August so this has grown this much in 3 months...
