Pressure?

Question

I'm 23 weeks and I have so much pressure in my stomach. Is this normal? It's really really uncomfortable and it's keeping me from falling asleep? It's been going on for the past could of days

Answer

I've been having a lot of pressure since 18 weeks and super strong braxton hicks (now 23). My doc said it's normal and to drink more water and rest when it happens. Don't worry I'm sure you are ok :-)

Answer

Also it started a couple days ago after I lifted something heavy. I started getting cramps in my stomach and I went to the ER but the dr was very young and didn't really seem like she knew what she was doing. It took her about 10 minutes to figure out the ultrasound machine and squeeled and said omgg aww how cute the whole time as if it was her first time seeing an ultrasound. She couldn't even figure out if she was looking at the babies arms or legs. She said things like "look! that's the babies head....I think.....?" Anyways after that she discharged me. My husband thought she was a medical assistant

Anyways the cramps went away but the baby seems really low like in my pelvic area. It's my first pregnancy and I'm not sure what to do. I have an appointment on the 25th. I'll talk to my dr but till then I want to know what you ladies think

Answer

It's probably fine. My baby is super low as well, most her kicks are right above my pubic bone. I would describe the tightness to people as feeling stuffed after thanksgiving, that's how it feels when your tummy is growing. Just take it easy this week and drink lots of water.
