Very annoying pressure- anyone else?

[mummytobe_93]

So sometimes i get this VERY annoying pressure its really hard to explain, i guess it is pressure on my bladder but sometimes it is quite like a pulsating pressure.

It happens after i have emptied my bladder but it makes me feel like i need to go again, i have had 2 urine tests UTI all clear etc...

And it isn't every day but when i do get it it's there for about 40 mins? It's worse when i'm sitting up or when i'm about to go to bed....

Just want to know what it is?
I am nearly 15 weeks, but i just think the baby is too small to create this pressure unless it is just my uterus? i know the baby is very low down as i use my doppler, still by my pelvic bone and i have a baby bump there too.

I will ask my midwife at my next appointment at 16 weeks, but she said not to call her really...

I guess i just want someone to tell me that this is normal!

Maybe your uterus stretching and making room for baby??
I get the same pressure but Im 26 weeks tomorrow and I know its baby lol

 

[mummytobe_93]

I hope it is, or it's just like sat in an unusual position- i don't get it often so i'm convincing myself it's sat on a nerve or something!

I'm not worried by it, but i was just hoping someone else started to get it as early as this! :\

But if im like this now, i dont even want to know how im going to feel when i reach 26 weeks like you...

 

[trythisagain]

Haha thats funny...I always think wow if Im like this at 26 weeks...wth is it going to be like at 35??? Scary thought lol
I agree likely nothing to be worried about. Our bodies do so much changing through pregnancy...I think basically anything that isnt normally normal...is normal in pregnancy lol

Yeah, same here but I felt this starting at 20ish weeks...

Yep I get all sorts of pressure. I agree with a PP about wondering how I'm gonna feel at 35 weeks! Lol.

Also your midwife said not to really call her? I'd remind her that it's kind of her job to be there for any questions and sometimes there are things that can't wait a month until the next check up.

I get that, and I really think for me it's baby. At 15 weeks it is hard to say, but I think it COULD be. At 15 weeks it's the size of an apple. Seems like an apple banging against your bladder could cause that. At any rate, there's also all the amniotic fluid, etc.

I get the same and I'm 16 weeks tomorrow. Seeing midwife on Monday so I'll ask her, I think it's stretching, or maybe gas. I'll be happy to hear a strong heart beat, put my mind at ease. Friends tell me know in going to be a mum there'll always be something to worry about! This is just the beginning!

 

[mummytobe_93]

thanks for all your replies, and Maxie do you mind letting me know what your midwife says please?

And i know, i dont think she would mind if i did call her but she basically said only to call her if i cant make an appointment or something like that :/, thankfully i havent really needed to call her! But i'm sure i could if i felt i had to xx

17 weeks and been going through this> very uncomfy at times. Specially when i firstt go bed and I go loo then immendiately want to go again and again its not water infection for me either. I went for scan because i had been spotting mentioned the pressure she said I might have irratated cervix.feels like low abdomen pressure x

 

[momof2babies]

Sounds like my early bh contractions It's nothing to worry about

 

[mummytobe_93]

thanks mizzyb and momof2babies

i didnt feel it all day yesterday all night, so i know its not like a constant problem it's just annoying! I will definitely ask my midwife when i see her!

I use my doppler and my baby is still in my pelvis- dont know if this is normal?
But i'm guessing because it's so low and my uterus is so low its that pressure but i dont know- maybe bh like you say, however i wouldnt have guessed that!

 

[Maxie]

Hi, my midwife didn't seem bothered about it, said it could be wind, bh or baby moving etc, could be linked to exercise, moving too much. Anything really. Heard the heart beat, nothing to worry about. Will you let me know what yours says?

 

[mummytobe_93]

i definitely will , thanks for the reply

I know mine definitely isn't linked to moving too much or wind, so i have no idea! I have my appointment next Thursday so i will update then x
