Upper belly pain?

Brittany

Is anyone else experiencing intense pressure like pain in their upper belly? Not quite as high as the ribs but around that area? The best way I can describe it is that it almost feels like trapped gas somewhere above my uterus.

I’m 25+2 today and don’t remember this feeling in my first pregnancy - although this baby is definitely sitting a bit higher than my first son... so it could just be different muscles stretching this time?

The pain gets so intense sometimes that I feel like I’m a balloon about to pop 😅. Any insight/experience is helpful!
