Anyone else have a burning almost scratching pain in your stomach. Mine is on right upper side. Its not heartburn and i'm not bleeding and it comes and goes as the baby moves. It hurts! Maybe long toe nails scratching me. haha

What can I do next?

I had a burning pain in the upper right side, my doc said it was my gallbladder and to lay off greasy, fatty foods. It did help.

I would say that they babies movement could be effecting you. May be where the baby is sitting could be the culprit of the burning pains. The baby is getting bigger and the body is accomodating. It won't be much longer. Hang in there.

Dear mama of 3 I hope I'm wrong, but watch for little red bumps on the surface. I've been watching your posts and know you're under a lot of stress lately. I think you may have shingles. Its an active chicken pox virus, concentrated in a small area usually on one hemisphere of the body (either right or left, top or bottom) not usually spreading to other areas of the body. but shingles itches and burn like chicken pox. you'll need an uber powerful b-12 shot to stop the infection but I'm not sure if you can have that while pregnant. please see a doctor about it.

I had that when I was pregnant. My doctor told me that it was my skin stretching. A good skin lotion usually reduces the feeling.
