Thanks again Roja! I will ask my Dr first before getting on bike. My gas is not all that bad, considering what I've heard from others.

My Dr placed my port right under my left rib cage . I was surprised, I thought it was placed near belly button. I think it might work out b/c as I lose weight the port will just blend into my ribs. Hoping anyway?!lol

Mine is on the right side at my ribs. I broke 2 ribs 21 months ago while I was preggers with my 4th. Man what that a pain in my musical cheeks!

I was worried it was going to hurt like the break but it hasn't. I can feel it, but it's not bad.

Did the baby break your ribs?? If so, how big was the baby?

No, the baby didn't do it. Although I've heard of that. I'm 5 8. They don't even kick into my ribs. I got a bad cold with a horrible cough. I broke my ribs from coughing! It was the craziest thing! My OB/GYN is a close friend and he sent me in for a specialized X Ray. I knew it was bad when he called right away.

He said a contributing factor was the hormone we (pregnant women) put off during our pregnancies to relax and soften our bones, called "RELAXIN".

They didn't heal until the end of my pregnancy. I got to suffer from January of 2011 to June 2, 2011. It was "fantastic!"

;)

How are you feeling? I had my first fill yesterday it was 3cc's. I'm another step closer to the "green zone!"
