Tummy pressure

[Anonymous]

I am almost at 27 weeks and have had felt some pressure below my belly, mostly when I am standing or walking. Has anyone felt this? Is this normal?

I don't know what it is (I usually assume it's bloating/constipation), but I'm around the same time (almost 26w) & feel like that a lot. I also feel like I have to pee, within moments of going to the bathroom, even though there's nothing there! I'm guessing it's normal, but haven;t talked to the dr about it or anything.

To the PP - when I have the "I have to pee ALL the time" feeling it's an indication of a UTI (urinary tract infection). But in my case at least there is no feeling of pressure that accompanies the infection. Could you be having braxton-hicks?

OP here - sorry had to jump offline yesterday. It did not feel like a contraction though I am not sure what those feel like (first baby), more like a constant pressure. It's not painful either. Almost like a pull on the side of my lower tummy.

I am 29 weeks. I've had several sonograms and they've said that my baby is in the perfect head down position..but it's why I feel a lot of pressure low down. Sometimes when I exercise it's like he's bouncing on my pubic bone. If I just shift positions, or after I feel him move a few minutes later, the sensation usually gets better.

I'm told it's no big deal..just the position of the baby.

OP again here - just had a Dr appoint and was told that the pressure was normal as the size of the baby gets big and it moves around and also gravity makes you feel like your lower side absomen/pelvis is being pulled.
