Weird numb feeling on upper abdomen, right side

The past week or so, I have been getting this intermittent numb feeling in my upper right abdomen, directly below my ribs.  It doesn't hurt, it just feels numb.  Anyone else have this?

    I do!!!  I asked my Dr about it.  He said he can't explain every symptom I can and will get but assumes it is just stretching.  He said as long as it is only annoying and not painful he can't do anything for me.  I found not wearing a bra with underwires helps not get it.  I used to have it daily and it would just progress til the end of the day.  I was talking with a friend who suggested I try not wearing underwires and it actually did help.  (I found cheap $3-$4 bras in Target clearance that work great)

    ETA: I still get it but not as frequently

  • Me!  In one spot, right at the top and in the middle of my belly.  Maternity support belt seems to help.

  • I just asked my Dr. about this yesterday. He said as long as it's not related to eating (which could be a gallbladder issue) it's because everything is getting squished.  It seems to happen more when I have to sit for a long time, so that makes sense.
