28 weeks and feeling abdominal pressure...normal?

it's so hard to describe....but it's not like I need to go to the bathroom pressure, and it's not like a pushing pressure....it's almost like a blowing a balloon up pressure in my abdomen just under my belly button and it feels like it's pushing outward, not up or down.

Shana, I am like 2 weeks ahead of you and I too am feeling a lot of pressure! It is such a weird feeling but all the sono techs at my job tell me its normal and that it is just the baby getting bigger and the uterus expanding more. I tell everyone i feel like a Kangaroo with that big pouch to carry the baby Kangaroo around in. I'm sure that its not anything to worry about but if you are unsure give your OB a call!
