My stomach makes me look pregnant.

So as you can see the first two pictures in my red nightgown are from just 15 minutes ago... Looking pretty pregnant to me! However, my boyfriend and I have been together 8 years, he has a vasectomy, so I’m 99.9% sure I’m not pregnant.. the last picture you see is my stomach just a couple months ago. All of a sudden i feel like I have swallowed a bowling ball, it’s hard uncomfortable and gets cramps( almost like strings are being streamed inside of me, which are very painful). It’s hard to breath, it’s very hard and I full on look 8 months pregnant ! Wish it was pregnancy, but I’m pretty positive I AM NOT. I eat fairly healthy never been obese or severely over weight. I am 28, 5’5 and now weigh 180LBS. I got sick and was barely eating however I gained weight and stomach keeps growing!? 😭 someone help me...

@stacy1989 - thinking of you and wondering how it's going with your stomach?
@stacy1989 - did you ever figure out what was making your stomach bulge out like that? I look the exact same way - and the other night I was out dancing at a show when a women literally gave me a death stare then made a motion of having a pregnant belly and shook her head and finger at me 🙁 It is large and taught - I've never been overweight in my life - until now I'm pushing 180 - when I'm usually 145-155, I'm 33yo not on birth control, just got my 10th negative pregnancy test of the last 6 months - clearly even doctors think it's a pregnancy 🙁 5'9" - I have an ultrasound of my abdomen on Monday - will report back any notable findings then 🙂

Hi, @stacy1989 - welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect.
You'll note I merged your post with this discussion, "My Stomach Makes Me Look Pregnant," in hopes that others like @hemanth @jakesheart @sevey41 @iamshaynenicole @tigerarmani @gailg and @rosemarya might join in and offer some input with your hard, uncomfortable stomach you feel makes you look 8 months pregnant. @piper34 and @darlia may also have some thoughts.
@stacy1989 - wondering if you've had the chance to consult with your doctor about your stomach? If so, what did he or she say about it?
