Bladder pressure

Im 30 weeks. Baby feels very low down on my bladder and the bladder pressure is becoming more prominent. Is this normal at 30 weeks? I feel like they are breech and just kicking on my bladder

Its fairly normal for them to still be breech at 30 weeks, and they could be 'sitting' on or kicking your bladder, unfortunately this is again pretty normal. That said if you're worried it could be a sign they're very big at this stage you should definitely bring it up with your midwife.

I got checked two weeks ago due to them thinking I had a small bump and they were 2 and a half pounds then. I’m not feeling movements as much when they are this low doen

If you're worried about movements I'd always contact triage. Hope all is well.

My baby was frank breech from at least 28 weeks until just before my 32 weeks growth scan - I knew she'd changed positions before the scan confirmed it as I could suddenly feel stronger movements in different places. She was apparently 4lbs at the 32 week scan.

I'm now 34+3 and she feels like she's moved lower and is now lying directly on my bladder.

I've had this since early on however baby has been head down since 26 weeks

At my 27w scan he was 3lb and this week at my 38 week scan he's 8lb10..so a very big baby and can be really uncomfortable 🫣
If your movements are less or different at all you need to call the maternity unit now and get checked.
