Has anyone experienced what I have heard as 'growing pains' or 'round ligament pain'?

Since last night I feel alot of pressure in my lower ab area, kinda like someone is constantly pressing on it.

It's not a UTI, I called the Dr today and told them and they had me come in a give a urine sample. Negative. So, she sent me to get a sonogram of my kidneys and the tech said I don't have kidney stones.

Honestly, I am kinda frustrated. I will be 19 weeks tomorrow, can this be just things moving around or the baby pressing on my bladder?

It is not exactly pain, it feels like alot of pressure and something is there in the lower ab and I feel like I need pee, but I don't have to.

Has anyone experienced this?

I had round ligament pains, but I wouldnt have described them as pressure. They felt more like a pain in my hip or a pulling on a diagonal line from my hip down lower (at least thats what I think I remember). Im feeling pressure now, (at 32 weeks) but thats more like a feeling that I have a basketball between my legs.

I have had a lot of pelvic bone pain since about the 20th week. It's actually been a little better lately. I don't know if it was round ligament pain though.

Yes and it's becoming really hard to sleep on my sides because of it.

I feel the pressure all the time and I always feel like I have to pee but nothing comes out. Very Frustrating!!!

I got it on and off. when i mentioned it to my dr., he told me not to worry about it. it wasn't a constant pain though, more on and off and every few days.

I have it a lot, unfortunately. I actually have begun sleeping semi-sitting because on my side causes so much pressure. Feel better.

i feel that pressure all the time and just assumed it was stuff growing.

I had round ligament pain. It was not a pressure kind of feeling but more like a sharp pain in the lower right belly area. I was on bed rest for the day when it acted up.
