Is pressure in the lower abdomen normal?

Hello. I am wondering if any other pregnant mama’s out there ever feel pressure in lower abdomen? I am 23 weeks and I asked my Dr about that and he told me that the baby is stretching? I feel it almost everyday especially when I’m sitting down.

Yes that’s normal! I feel it all the time and I’m 24 weeks myself. Your belly is expanding more as your growing baby stretches and moves about. Try laying back slightly propped on pillows to get a little more comfortable! Might relieve some pressure where it’s not appreciated lol

Yep normal :slight_smile: only gets worst.

I’m 31 weeks and I’ve had that pain for a few months now. I’m only 5ft and my son is huge! Just move slowly. Some days are better then the others!
