16/17 weeks +

Have any of you started feeling pressure around 16 or 17 weeks. I feel like I am just now really starting to gain some weight and I am just now starting to feel pregnant. I feel the need to pee even more so than before...is it too early to be feeling like this? I just have a lot of pressure after standing for awhile...maybe it is just my body's way of telling me to rest?

Re: 16/17 weeks +

I have been feeling the same way as well. I am 21 weeks. I have had a lot of pressure, but I too feel like I am doing too much. Plus, I feel like I have gained so much weight in the past 3 weeks

Re: 16/17 weeks +

No - I began feeling those things around that time....

Re: 16/17 weeks +

I noticed the more frequent trips to the bathroom.

Re: 16/17 weeks +

I had a LOT of pressure starting around 14 weeks and it just started to ease up ( at 19 weeks)....It felt like it was pushing my uterus out the bottom.

Sounds normal

Re: 16/17 weeks +

I started going more to the bathroom lately as well, but it turned out to be UTI but I know what you are talking about the pressure, today especially it feels like kinda cramping but not really...

Re: 16/17 weeks +

Yes yes! I have been feeling more pressure too. I thought something was wrong.

Re: 16/17 weeks +

I felt that way also around the same time. It seems to feel better now (just turned 18 weeks today)

Re: 16/17 weeks +

Oh it's never too early to feel anything from being pregnant! I posted earlier that pretty much within 5 minutes, I peed twice...I've only gained 7 pounds, I'm only in week 20...but that hasn't stopped a certain someone from dancing on my bladder and causing severe issues with my stomach [a la heartburn]. I have more pregnancy symptoms NOW than I did in the beginning. I think having been sooo thin has made the past couple and coming weeks more difficult because I have less room for extra growth.

Re: 16/17 weeks +

I'm definitely feeling pressure. Sleeping has become a small issue as well

Re: 16/17 weeks +

Phew! Thank god...I was starting to get a little worried. I've never been pregnant before so this is all new to me. Sleeping is also becoming a slight issue for me b/c I am so used to sleeping on my stomach and now it's uncomfortable.

But, yeah, the pressure thing is weird...I feel like my uterus is being pushed out of me or something. It's a little scary. I'm glad to hear that it has gotten better for some of you as time goes on.

Re: 16/17 weeks +

I had severe pelvic pain from the pressure at 12 weeks this time around. But thank god it hasnt gotten worse, like it did when I was preggo with my daughter. It's been the same.

Re: 16/17 weeks +

I definitely get the pressure thing a lot especially when i am eating. We are in the same week. I also have trouble sleeping and sleeping on my right side seems to be ideal right now. If I sleep on my stomach it doesnt feel to good and also if i sleep on my back it feels weird.

Re: 16/17 weeks +

I had thesame thing at 17 weeks. My Dr said that it's totally normal and that is exactly when it starts. At almost 29 weeks, I can tell you that the pressure only gets more intense!

Re: 16/17 weeks +

Yes, I do feel the pressure you described. My doctor says it's all normal.
