Tube Like Structure Running From Belly Button Towards Abs, Bloating. History Of Having Protected Sex. Symptoms Of Pregnancy?
I have noticed a tube like structure running from my belly button upward, and it is in between my abs. I was wondering if this combined with upper abdominal bloating and pain when pressing are signs of pregnancy. I am supposed to get my period this week, but I am panicking because I messed up my birth control pills but we always wear condoms.

Hi,
Tube like structure you mean white lining appearing on your abdomen.
If this is there, it might be due to even fat deposition in your abdomen.
During pregnancy this type of lining do occur, called Linea striae or alba, but at later stage of pregnancy.
So do not become panic and wait till you get your period.
Ok and take care.
