I'm scared and freaking myself out!!!
I am a little over 24 weeks, and have terrible pressure. It feels like this baby is falling out of me.
I have felt like this for about 5-6 weeks now. I was checked by my Doctor at about 20 weeks, and he said everything was fine- he did an internal.
Since this is my second baby, everyone tells me that you feel pain and pressure much more and early on.
This crazy heat, the fact that I am getting sooo huge and chasing around my almost-4-year-old Diva, is probably making it worse.
I am getting so scared and paranoid that something terrible is going to happen, because I didn't feel this pressure/pain at all the last time, and I was a week overdue and Ava was 9 lbs...
I am even afraid to get the baby's room painted because I am scared something bad will happen. I am not a strong person like a lot of other people on these boards. If I lost this baby, I would totally fall apart...
I even googled to see what a 25 week old fetus looks like before, and it showed websites on dealing with the loss of a baby...and I read them all...only to freak myself out even more..
I never worried like this during my first pregnancy. I think that ignorance really is bliss...I really know too much this time around.
I will def make a Dr. appt tomorrow to get checked out. How do all of you remain calm and not freak yourselves out??

Honestly, you need to breathe! By getting so upset, you are only making things harder on yourself. It isn't good for you or the baby. Try to relax, think good thoughts and be positive.  Seeing the doctor is a great start but trusting your body to take care of the baby is the next thing you need to do.

I feel pressure at 20 weeks too. My doctor told me that it's going to feel as if I'm carrying the baby between my knees and I will have more pressure.
I think everything sound normal...

Re: I'm scared and freaking myself out!!!
This is my first and I have been feelin the pressure you are taking about since about 19 weeks. I told my doc who sent me for an internal and everything was fine. I still feel the pressure (almost like she is trying to push down and out) and I am now a little over 34 weeks. Sometimes we are more in tune with our bodies or maybe the baby's positioning and movement can cause these sensations. GO to your doc have them check you out and if they say everything is fine, then it is.
