  I don't remember feeling pressure at that point in my pregnancy, I would call your doctor just to be safe, especially since we're heading into the weekend.

  I had a lot of pelvic pressure and achiness around 16 weeks.  It's actually gotten better in the last couple of days.  Baby A was extremely low at my 16 week u/s so I'm wondering if I have some relief because he's changed positions?

  Are you feeling pressure when you stand up, walking, or if you've had a long day??  I feel some weird sensations when I am performing the above.  I don't know if pressure is the word that I would use.  When I stand up, it feels like my uterus might fall out, if that makes sense??  Like stretching....pulling...when I have a long day, I do have a little pressure when I walk around.  I saw my MFM on Monday and he said that it was completely normal because our bones, muscles, liagments are stretching to accomodate our LO's.  He also said that my cervix was completely normal.  I have had a few braxton hicks, i think, where my uterus will tighten up slighlty making my whole stomach hard and then release.  This is my first, so I'm completely in the dark.  However, if you're feeling things strange and if it concerns you, I would call

  I did, right around that time.  I went into the OB and he sent me to the MFM, just to be on the safe side.  My cervix was closed and long, but one of the babies' heads was right on my cervix.  I say, when in doubt, call your OB.  That's what they're there for.  It's better to be safe than sorry.

  I started to get pressure down low after a long day. A lot of times it was after I had been running, so I've since stopped. My cervix is long and closed, but baby A is really low, so I am sure it's just her moving around.

  If it was enough for you to post the question, it is probably enough reason to call your Dr.
