So far during the pregnancy, I've had no unusual port-related symptoms...until today. According to the doc's measurements, my "fundal height" (top of the uterus) is now three to four inches above my belly button. My port is located about six inches up from this from my belly button and two inches to the right.
I imagine that what's going on is my uterus is starting to push directly on my port or push on my guts (yes, that's a fancy medical term) that are then pushing on my port.
It doesn't really hurt - it's more of a dull ache, but it's enough to make me aware of my port's presence and location.
When I touch my port, it's a bit more tender than usual, but not super-sore.
It seems logical that this port ache is only going to intensify as the pregnancy proceeds.
I'm now officially in my third trimester...so not super long left to go!
I started having the same port pain too, especially in the last few weeks. I'm 28 weeks, and I only imagine it getting more and more uncomfortable. *lol* There are some days that I don't feel anything from it, and then there are others where it's pretty tender. :( Hopefully it'll work out!
