in need of reassurance!

	Hello, i am having a bit of trouble. i last had sex three months ago before i left university. im now living back home but now my stomache feels really bloated and its sticking out alot more even though iv been doing exercise and its beginning to make me feel paranoid. i havnt missed a period and i havnt had or felt morning sickness, and my breasts are not sore.im tired but i think thats down to being unemployed and not doing anything all day! and i have been having mood swings but i think thats because iv recently stopped smoking. I just need some reassurance, do you think i could be pregnant or is there another reason for a musular lower abdoman pain and a bump?

	Answer by Dr Rowena S, MD (doctor) on Tue 15, Sep 2009 07:49pm: Hi, How are you? If you have not missed your period and not experiencing any symptoms, this may not be due to pregnancy. However, it is recommended that you check with a pregnancy test. Abdominal bloating presents with the abdomen feeling full and tight. This may be caused by air swallowing, constipation, excess gas in the bowel, irritable bowel syndrome, overeating, partial bowel obstruction or small bowel bacterial overgrowth. If it persists, have this evaluated by your doctor for proper management. Take care and best regards. Detailed answer for your question: Available in paid version. - Click to pay.
