16 weeks pressure/pain

Hey! Could someone please help me out with some advice here?

I’m just 16 weeks but have this awful pressure above my pubic bone and cannot lean forward, lie on my left side (which I know is safest) and I cannot get rid of it. I believe it is probably the baby sitting really really awkwardly but it’s SOOO uncomfortable. Is this normal? Is it just my stomach stretching? My midwife said I could just be sensitive to my muscles relaxing but it’s awful! Any advice would be so so appreciated!

TIA X
