    I have this HEAVY feeling

    Im about 10 weeks pregnant and I have this really heavy feeling in my lower abdo.....

    i have a son and had this before in pregnancy but it was around 15 weeks plus and the doctors said I needed to rest more.... and that it was just the baby feeling HEAVY

    Now I have it even earlier

    Its a pain to stand on a hard floor or sit on something hard for even short periods
    The heaviness is situated around my cervix i think (tmi sorry)

    what should I do ?

    I have my first dr appt and hospital appt in a few weeks..... help?

    Anyone have anything like this and was it normal?

    I had that at about the same stage with my 3rd pregnancy. I remember telling my midwife I thought the baby was going to fall out. She reassured me it was normal and true to her word everything was fine (and I went full term).

    haha yeah, I wonder if the twins were something to do with it! I do remember feeling something similar with DS2 as well, but not quite as early.

    I was told the heavy feeling is from weak pelvic floor muscles.. don't know how true it is though..I did my PFE and it didn't seem to make a difference!

    I'll have to ask my midwife when I get to meet her

    I did exercises after my son was born but im sure labour again will stuff it all anyhow lol
