Oh the pressure!

Is anyone else feeling a lot of pressure down low?  At the very bottom of my bump I'm feeling a lot of pressure (especially when I sit down) and the baby seems soooooo heavy!!  I'm almost 29 weeks.....

Not feeling too much pressure down there but he gets low enough to kick me in the bladder and to give me what I have discovered is called "lightning crotch" feelings lol. It is VERY startling!

*EDIT* I'm just now 29 weeks. Only 11 to go! Whoo!

This LO likes to hang out up in my ribs, but my last baby was always sitting low. I really recommend a pregnancy support belt. BRU sells one with two bands (one goes around your hips and the other goes on the top of your bump). It will change your life. I am totally serious.

My midwife suggested a belt for support because I am feeling the same. I found this one on Amazon that I am thinking of ordering this week. It had a ton of reviews. Although now I'm considering the one @Eora3 suggested.

I can handle the pressure most of the day but at the end and after dinner, belly is just too heavy.

Yep. And my pubic bone is so super sore!! Well...I know it's not the actual bone that's sore (lol), but all across that area! Mine is more when I stand up and while walking. Ouch! My 12hr shifts are getting harder...

Welcome & congrats.

I had similar pressure but I also spoke to my Doctor about it.
