30 weeks, stomach feels heavy

I haven't experienced any braxton hicks, my stomach doesn't feel hard in anyway - I do feel some strange movement which may be braxton hicks ?

My stomach all of a sudden feels very very heavy and uncomfortable 😣 is this normal?

I do have gestational diabetes, and too much amniotic fluid, with a very large baby, but it feels really heavy all of a sudden. It was ok when I woke up this morning...

Is this normal? It's probably nothing but just a little worried! I go to the hospital on Tuesday for my diabetes training, so I can ask them then, but would love to know if this is something others experience x

I am 31 weeks and I have started to feel like this recently! Trouble bending over, doing my shoelaces, waddling, lots of pressure in my pelvis, painful getting out of car and into bed etc…
Then it goes again and I feel normal! I figure it might just be to do with the position that the baby’s in? Perhaps they get stuck really low in your pelvis then get out again?!
I’m finding it stressful as some days my bay feels so active and there’s loads of strong kicking and punching, other days I can just feel occasional wriggles.

I’m 31+4 and feel exactly the same. This is baby 2 and I don’t remember feeling like this first time around. I feel very uncomfortable all of a sudden.

@dg93 I am 31 weeks, I have GD and excess fluid and my bump feels absolutely huge and heavy. Your fluid levels may have increased, when is your next growth scan? My obstetrician has asked me to call if I am concerned about anything.
