    Question pressure in lower belly

    as you can see i am 33 weeks pg, today i have done a bit of cleaning (no more than usual tho, TBH) little miss has been moving around ALOT today (i actually think she is turned and facing out coz i feel like i can feel her arms and the kicks and prods are alot sharper)
    but all morning i have had this weird pressure in my lower belly. like if i hold my belly it feels better ( like hold it up IYKWIM)
    what could this be? should i be worried?

    thanks ladies

    She could be just pressing you in awkward spot especially now that she's getting bigger. Or you could be noticing braxton hick tightening down low or it could be your ligaments stretching. As long as she's moving and the pressure doesn't turn into regular pains it shouldn't be anything to worry about.

    I get that - I call it the 'my belly's about to fall out' feeling... Have you got a belly support band or something??

    Hi Stevie
    Don’t worry hun this is a common feeling. Wrapping a scarf around your belly and using it like a sling for your belly may make you feel a little more comfortable
