Should it feel this heavy already?

Since midday yesterday, I feel like I've swallowed a canteloupe. Whole.
Or a lawn bowl - yeah thats better - when I stand or walk it feels really heavy in one spot at the front like Im carrying around a lawn bowl in the front of my jeans.

Is it normal to feel this heavy at only 18 weeks?

I think it's the heat that does it. As soon as it got hot I just felt like that no matter what stage of pg I was at.

I go through periods where it feels just, well, *there*, for a while - usually after a big growth spurt. It does feel heavy but I have a dodgy pelvis so I've kind of been expecting it.

Every time I stand up after sitting in one position for a while I'm like a creaky old lady.

i second that.. all u pregnant mumma's.. stay out of this heat!!!

lol. Im at work in air-con so its unlikely to be that but will keep it in line when I make DH get an air con for home :)

mayb u have a little extra fluid? mayb the way bub is laying in there? deep down.. i have no idea, just throwing some ideas out there. lol

Thanks :) maybe I will find out tomorrow at my scan.

Oooooh, good luck tomorrow Ray! Are you finding out?

hey rayray. i was tinking exactly the same thing today. I was walking around the shops and just felt like a big bowling ball was in my belly. And I was WADDLING like a duck! i dont want to waddle yet.... its too early.... :o

Janie - yep
myson - thats exactly what I mean.

Oh I feel it too, some days a lot more than others. If I've been doing a lot of walking or standing I REALLY feel it and it's so nice to sit down that I actually physically feel the heaviness not there when I sit....ahhhh so nice!

I had a really heavy feeling at the bottom of my belly for a good week recently. I put it down to the way my little Monkey has positioned itself. My Monkey seems to like it down low in my belly to the point it sometimes feels like Monkey is on my bladder.
