anybody else feel a lot of pressure in abdomen? UPDATE
Everything is still so new to me. I'm 17w3d along and just last night i started to feel like an immense amount of pressure in my abdomen. Nothing painful but uncomfortable nonetheless. Almost like when you have HORRIBLE gas and feel like you're going to explode if you don't do something quick to relieve it. lol. But I wasn't gassy. Obviously I know that this is probably the fact that my uterus and baby are growing and that's fine. But curious if anybody else has experienced this. I still feel more pressure than usual.
And then of course DH suggests to  in order to "relieve some pressure" and it takes me forever to explain that that would probably only make it worse.  haha
UPDATE!!!
Just wanted to update for anybody who's felt the same pressure and was concerned. I decided to call my dr just to be on the safe side. I went in and everything was fine. Got to see LO a couple weeks earlier than planed which was AWESOME (we haven't gotten a sono in 10 weeks so needless to say s/he's grown a LOT). Anyways, if anybody else is truly concerned about it definitely don't hesitate to go in for reassurance. It's not worth the stress. I'm so glad I got it checked out

Re: anybody else feel a lot of pressure in abdomen?
I'm just a few days ahead of you and totally think I feel the same thing - it's kind of like a combo btwn a muscle pain and pressure that really hurts. . it kind of stays there for a while and moves away. . I'm with you - makes me anxious but I just think it's the uterus growing!

I'm in the same boat. I also get a lot of stretching pains too. Forget getting up quickly, I'm hunched over from the pain.

Re: anybody else feel a lot of pressure in abdomen?
yes, I just did that today. Stood up too fast and OMG the pain.
Ok, I'm glad I'm not alone in that pressure feeling. I'm sure it's completely normal but it helps to know if anybody else is experiencing it with me.

It's funny that the two that responded are within days of you!
The new pains freaked me out at first but they subsided very quickly and I was able to diagnose when it is likely to occur.

not to scare you, but i would def mention it to your OB... i got the same thing around 16/17w, and my OB had be come in right away for an internal... he said pressure on your lower abdomen could be your cervix shortening... mine wasnt (thank god) so we chalked it up to round ligament pain

hmm... im no doctor, but 5 weeks sounds pretty early for your cervix to "shorten" -- i would mention it to your OB just to be sure

Re: anybody else feel a lot of pressure in abdomen?
well the pressure has now lifted. It was just for a little while that night, but I'm going to keep my eye on it. If it comes back maybe I'll call the doctor & see what she says. I really think it's just my uterus growing and the baby moving.
