Hey ladies, I don't remember this from my pregnancy w/ DD..

 Suddenly today- I have had LOTS of very LOW.. I mean.. almost TMI low pressure and random sudden pains.. VERY low..

It's been happening almost all day..

Normal? I don't remember this..

It is RLP?  That's what it sounds like, but people usually have that with their first as well.

Everything is worse with the second baby (RLP, Braxton Hicks, contractions, etc.) though... oh except labor... that's usually shorter

Sounds normal to me.  I had that low pressure feeling after about 20 weeks with both DD and DS.  As for pains... I had the "lightening crotch" sensation every now and then LOL.

I was thinking LC too.  Ouch.

I agree with PPs, sounds like either RLP (which I didn't have much of last time, but am this time), or lightning crotch.  Lighting crotch = super ouch!

As long as you're not bleeding or anything, I'd chalk it up to normal growing and stretching.

Every person's pain is different.  If yours is excruciating, then I'd say not normal but if it's just a dull achy pain then I'd say yes it's normal.  Ha.  There are so many pains with pregnancy that you just never know!

 As pp said, everything is worse with #2....and for the record, I feel like I'm falling completely apart with #3 (although it could be because all of mine have been so close together.)

I feel like I'm falling apart this time around as well.  RLP, LC bad growing pains.  I have talked to many friends IRL and they all assure me that no bleeding, no leaky gushes and I can move through it it's normal and my body is just remembering pregnancy.  I hope you start feeling better:)

Yup, its right.  I don't remember it this early with DD but I have been having that pressure and pain for weeks now already.

Thank you so much ladies, these are BOTH things I was thinking, but I just couldn't remember it being this soon, and this sudden.. and this much!!!

Welcome to the second pregnancy huh?

Thanks again! I appreciate it!!!

Did you strain to poop or spend a lot of time walking?

Because of the stretched pelvic floor muscles from Baby1 when you strain to poop it does actually push baby down a bit and can feel funny on your cervix for a while.

The same thing happens if you stand too much.  DH and I walked around Home Depot for liek 3 hours (then of course I strained to poop) it literally felt like the baby was pushing out my cervix.

I have this pain too. I asked the dr. yesterday and my baby is sitting low and moving around. With your second or thereafter your muscles are already stretched and your baby can sit low. It is also other muscles stretching. She said try to sit or lay down as much as possible and try wearing a maternity belt for support.

I have had similar symptoms.. I feel as though w/ #1 it felt heavier b/c I felt later in the PG.  And I do notice it more after a crazy 12 hours shift of standing at work (like today)... As always if you really can't even walk through it and are worried-call.. But the LC and RLP are already here at 19 weeks--hoping that's all it is for you too.
