Seriously has the page been hacked?! Between this kind of post with different dates weeks and the later period with negative pregnancy test posts Iâm getting rather annoyed. So many of both and with each the numbers keep changing

From 8weeks to 10-12 weeks ur uterus will double itâs size. Thatâs probably what youâre feeling. But honestly itâs still a minimal changeâŚ

Ask your midwife, not Facebook

Yup it can and will come and go throughout⌠your body isnât used to having something growing inside it. It will cause pressure.
Omfg are we serious with the repeat posts
Yes ughhhh and it feels like forever until it goes away! My Dr said to wait until the uterus gets bigger and pops over the top of your public bone. You should get some relief then.

Unfortunately, yes. I had pressure, feeling like I was being ripped apart, for almost my entire pregnancy when pregnant with my son! I totally feel for you! At least you know the feeling has an end date!
Call your doctor just to be safe but I had terrible cramping especially with my first pregnancy in the first few weeks. My obgyn said it is totally normal and just your body making room and preparing for baby.

I was told with my 1st pregnancy that itâs normal, that itâs from everything stretching and getting ready for baby. If it becomes sharp pains/cramping and/or bleeding, I would most definitely call/see your doctor.

Hey lady! Yes it is. Iâm now 17 weeks pregnant but at around 10ish-12 weeks I was feelings tons of pressure. Mine even felt like it was tightening so that part scared me most. I called my midwifes nurse, she assured me it was normal but told me I could come in the next day - just for peace of mind. Ultrasound was done, everything was checked and everything was completely okay 
itâs just everything adjusting in there. Our insides are literally getting rearranged temporarily lol so weâll feel a lot of different things. But it never hurts to call just to ask

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Some women are just more sensitive sometimes, it is one of those things that your provider wants to know about
Really ladies we are supposed to support each other sometimes it is easier to ask other mums then to talk to a damn doctor who will give you some technical mumbo jumbo bs. It can be very normal sweetheart it sometimes depends on your body

Can be. I even had some bleeding⌠I was carrying twins so I understand the never ending fear of something going wrong.

At 13 weeks I wasnât able to pee not sure what kind of pressure youâre having. Went to the er. They didnât know what was wrong. Went in to my obgyn the next morning I had a incarcerated uterus. Where your uterus falls on your bladder. Better safe than sorry to ask the doctor.
Itâs such a shame to read some of these comments about ask your midwife/doctor. Most community midwives do not offer a 24 hour service so she couldâve contacted a midwife but might have to wait. In the uk if you are under 20 weeks pregnant and have a pregnancy issue itâs call your midwife, gp, 111 or in an emergency to A & E. itâs obviously not an emergency, GPâs and midwives are now closed. 111 who knows what this service offers due to COVID. why shouldnât she ask a whole bunch of mothers if they have experienced the pressure in their pelvis in early prefnancy? Weâre supposed to support each other. And, just a thought there could actually be midwives on this pages that could offer some advice

Everyone is different so Iâd call into your OB just in case. I didnât with my first two but, did with the last 3⌠it was nonstop for a few weeksâŚ
Yes. I had so much with my 2nd and a lot of round ligament pain.

Wow such a supportive group⌠maybe theyâve emailed their midwife and waiting for a response so maybe she wanted to ask some other moms âŚ
My midwife can take some time to get back to me cause she may be busy with another momâŚ
It can be normal could be your body just adjusting itself.During early pregnancy, you may experience mild twinges or cramping in the uterus. You may also feel aching in your vagina, lower abdomen, pelvic region, or back. It may feel similar to menstrual period cramps.

Why are you guys so rude about questions?? Its a page YOU followed to be in? This is my FIRST pregnancy & i DO NOT have a midwife. This is supposed to be where we all come together & talk about your experiences or what your midwife said. Get a grip!! Im new to this pregnancy thing, i dont have a doctor to just call and she/he will pick up!! Thank you to the ladies who just answered the question without hesitation!

It can be quite normal. If it is still concerning after a couple of days, just give your doctor a call, and often you can reach his/her nurse easier and they can talk to you as well.
I still find it bizarre that expectant mums are taking time to post on fb and ask concerning questions rather than calling midwives/GPâsâ:exploding_head: Iâm on a mums to be group and the âIâm getting shooting pains every 5 mins what could this beâ 
why on earth would you ask other expectant mums that are not professionals on social media?! Pick up your phone and call your midwife!!!

This last pregnancy for me was so much worse than my first. I got all the aches and pains and swelling. Itâs normal. Your body is stretching to accommodate baby.
Yes. I had it really bad with this baby very early on. And it just turns out Iâve been carrying her really low this whole time. If it becomes painful or you notice bleeding, Iâd recommend calling the Dr.
And for those of yâall being rude, yall are fuckin assholes.
Unfortunately, OP, with momâs⌠Theyâre either going to be understanding or theyâre going to be straight up judgemental assholes. If there is an in-between, Iâve yet to see it. Pay them no mind, honey.

Yes i used pregnant yoga to help my body be a lil more limber for the pushing n shiftin there are positions that can help relive the pressure
Yes itâs normal. I suggest getting a Belly Band. It helps with the pelvic pressure, and also round ligament pain. You can also use them after baby is born too. It really helps the most when you get a C-Section. After any woman gives birth, their intestines finally have room again and makes your stomach jiggle till your body recovers. Belly Bands also help with your back pain too. Sleep with a body pillow at night from now on. Your back, and hips get the extra support while you sleep too.
Very normal⌠Just wait till you get close to the end and get lighting crotch⌠

Mine started at 6 weeks ish and went on until the very endâŚ
Yes. It can be very uncomfortable. Cramping is normal⌠2nd trimester is way better
Yes but sometimes can be a sign to rest more ,in the beginning of my first pregnancy I had to rest ,my body needed more rest
Yes!! I felt like my babies were going to fall out from the beginning.
Itâs normal at any amount of weeks lol
Yes itâs normal and you know what is normal too ? Getting sh** from ppl on social media so make sure you filter through the above comments.
Pls always seek professional help but if you feel that asking online and sharing this with others makes you feel good then so be it xxx hugs

It can be! Remember our bodies literally shape shift to carry a pregnancy. With my 2nd and my 3rd it felt 10 worse than my 1stđŹ i was in SOOOO much pain at the end of each trimester because my hips were shifting and my pelvis was opening.
Try sleeping with a fluffy pillow bewteen your legs and everytime you lay down on your side try the pillow between the legs! Itll help relieve some of the pressure on your hips!
Yes. Youâre body is accommodating to a growing child
Yes it is. Your uterus is stretching itâs muscles. Basically exercising itself in preparing for your babyâs growth. It can be uncomfortable at times but totally normal. If youâre cramping like menstrual cramps or even spotting or bleeding it is most definitely recommended to get checked out. While most of the time early spotting is just implantation bleeding itâs better to be safe than sorry
I had it the whole time I was pregnant
Yes. Cramping with my first pregnancy was scary!
Please check your cervical length immediately
I have a super sensitive uterus so I usually feel pressure from about 8 weeks on. If youâre concerned definitely contact your health provider but donât worry mama
Every.single.pregnancy lol! So yes. And I went on to have four healthy girls!

I had pelvic pressure really early with this pregnancy. They are all different 
Look up round ligaments
Yes, I felt my stomach âhardeningâ around 8 weeks. But this is Facebook not your ob, if you are concerned then go be seen. Theyâre not gonna judge you for being cautious and theyâre gonna have to get used to your face anyway.
