Really heavy pressure feeling bottom of uterus/top of pelvis. 18 weeks

[Iswallowtoothpaste]

17+6 weeks today. Have been having annoying cramps most of the day, not painful, just uncomfortable (really quite pig sick of them and the worrying I’m having as a result) and this last hour I’ve felt a heavy pressure right in my lower abdomen just above my bikini line - almost like someone has put some weights in there. I’m hoping it’s normal, I only had this at full term with DD which is worrying me! Obviously with it being NYE and the fact that we live quite rurally, I’m limited as to who I can contact.

My nerves are shot!!

I’m having this too!! I’m 20+2 and it’s been happening off & on for a couple of weeks- I never experienced it with my DS so I was a bit worried at first. I’ve the midwife next week so I’m going to mention it then. I’m sure it’s nothing to worry about OP x

Ahh that makes me feel better. Sorry your experiencing the same!! Not that it’s painful just ever so slightly annoying!
I’m just worrying about things for worryings sake now. I seriously need to chill.

Thank you for replying, you’ve made me feel better already. Happy new year to you x

I have had something similar this past 24 hours - feels like I'm a carrying a bowling ball around in there and is very uncomfortable. I'm only 15 +1 but am carrying twins, and noticed my bump looked significantly bigger today so I'm putting it down to growing/stretching pains.

@CritterTamer ahhh twins, you’ll definitely be ‘feeling the force’

Pleased it’s normal!

My biggest worry is if it's this uncomfortable now, what will it be like in another 10-20 weeks?!!

My gut instinct is that it's nothing to worry about but my 16 week mid ife aapointment is on Wednesday so I will mention it then.

Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy. xxx

Pregnant with my second and have had this too! It did get better but now I am 33 weeks and so uncomfortable again. I had terrible round ligament pain this time too.

Had this too around the middle of 2nd pregnancy. All went normally. It’s very uncomfortable And feels like the baby fall out!

There is a point where your body all sort of moves about to accommodate growing baby - I remember the pictures in my pregnancy book and all of a sudden your organs, bladder etc relocate and womb settles in. Maybe it's that?

Ahhh thank you all. You’ve really helped to settle my nerves. I’ve had some lucozade and baby seems to have shifted him/herself up a wee bit now!

20 week scan 2 weeks tonorrow, it can’t come quickly enough!

I get similar sometimes, it feels like my uterus is about to drop out of me, had it earlier and its uncomfortable and I assume normal. then it goes away again, I guess theyre just moving about in there!

I'm 16+1 with twins @Crittertamer :)
