I wish I knew Ber, the doctor and hospital refused to put a name to it saying that it wasn't dangerous but could have been life threatening. To my way of thinking life threatening is a bit dangerous. I'd complained of the pain before I ever got pregnant with Emz but was told it was probably a pulled muscle. It got worse when I got pregnant but they said it was normal to have 'twinges' when pregnant. I'd been pregnant before, had twinges and this was not twinges but I was fobbed off that it was due to my age. Fortunately when I went for a routine check up there was a student in the ultra sound department and they asked if I minded if she had a look round the rest of my insides. As she was wandering round the nurse was saying "that's a kidney, that's the liver that's the........ OH MY LORD!" and then she said she was surprised I hadn't experienced any pain! I wasn't sure if I should hug her or hit her. They sent for my gynaeologist and he ordered me to be admitted and scheduled a cesaerian before any chance of me going into labour and causing further problems. The THING was apparently 15 inches in diameter by that stage. Thankfully I survived and so did Emz.
