Banded nearly 3 weeks, yesterday had the odd pain and this morning but since about 6pm tonight I had it alot its hard to discribe. It feels like its under my left boob (think were heart is!!!) a shooting pain that comes and goes but when it comes it can take my breath away!!!

Really quite worried never had it before and just cause its right by my heart or .... could it be my heart?? Sure its not.

Please someone tell me its summat to do with the band? And it will be gone soon

Oh, Hun how miserable! I think e.green69 (Emma) had similar sounding pain about 2 weeks ago and it was a bruised stomach but I would want to check it out for sure.

Feel better & let us know how you are doing.

gripe water is whats given to babies for trapped wind its perfect for banders

 

[julieann]

hope the pain stops soon dee

 

[Brunetteandred]

Gripe water is commonly given to babies to help them bring up their wind.

Have you tried walking about or maybe gently moving about? Stretch your arms up gently perhaps? That should help with wind dispersal.

Keep us posted. :flowers:

I tell u what, it sounds mad everyone saying about having really bad pains and someone suggesting wind cos I think if I suggested that to non banders ( on the outside world lol ) they`d look at me strange as if to say " wind can`t cause this much pain " lol. ( Cause before the band I`d probably have done the same ) But it actually does, its horrific. I can now sympathise with my baby boy lol!!! ( Hope this post makes sense )

[uglyduck16]

Ah ok, thankyou - now i know!
Hope the pain is starting to feel better dee!

Hi Dee,

Your heart is central, under the breast bone. The misconception that it's on the left is because the aorta (the big artery) goes that way, and you can feel and hear it more on that side. When the heart causes problems you can get pain along there, but generally a bit higher than what you're saying and with other symptoms.

If it's below the boobage it could be wind trapped under your diaphragm, try lots of deep breaths and moving around, lifting your arms up etc.

wind or indigestion can mimmik heart pains, and its most likley wind, wind pains hurt alot and yes thats why babies cry so much, they settle down when the wind is brought up.
