lower abdominal pressure?

I am 22 weeks on weds and i am feeling a LOT of pressure in my lower stomach  and its freaking me out. Is this normal at this stage? i have no discharge or anything so its prob just my uterus expanding?  See my doc on the 21st but thought i would see if anyone had any thoughts and try to ease my mind

I wouldn't worry. I have lots of crazy aches and pains and lots of pressure. Things are just changing in there!

I have been experiencing the same thing for a week or so. I just make sure to drink lots of water and rest when I can which seems to help some.

I'm 24 weeks today and I've been having a lot of pressure down in my lower abdomin as well - especially when I sit for an extended amount of time (like at work). I'm pretty sure it's just the baby sitting low and/or your body adjusting to all of the changes. I make sure I drink a lot of water, try to walk around as much as I can throughout the day and when I get home I just plop my butt on the couch and put my feet up. I wouldn't be too concerned unless you were experiencing other symptoms - which you said you aren't - so in the meantime just enjoy knowing that it's your LO growing/gaining weight Big Smile

I just got home from the doc about this same thing too.. Feels tight and really bad on my right side. He said its just more stretching of muscles and ligaments! Oh and your probably 4 more weeks along than you think! Ultra sound in 3 weeks cannot come soon enough!
