pressure

[sarak]

Hi
I am 18 weeks and am feeling pressure on my lower abdomin. It feels like my bladder is full but its not. Is this normal?

Oooh yeah, that pressure can be really uncomfortable! I never checked, but I assume it's normal?!

It's so annoying, cos you feel like you need to wee, and then when you go nothing comes out! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! It has eased a little for me now, I think bubs is higher. Hopefully it will 'lift' for you too!

Its normal but as I am currently recovering from a Urine infection where the feeling was pressure that I needed to go.,..but didnt. If it persists constantly I would get your urine checked by your dr.

Just a thought... Jac

I had that through nearly my whole pg - very frustrating

it doesnt feel like i actually need to go to the loo its more like the feeling of a full bladder and when i bend over i can feel the pressure. i thought i had a urine infection a few weeks ago but all was clear.
