Pressure in my pelvis

in 2nd Trimester

I am 20 weeks pregnant with my first baby.  In the last week, I have been feeling pressure in my lower pelvis.  I don't know if I'm just carrying the baby low or if this is unusual.  The baby has been kicking regularly for 2 weeks now and it seems like all the kicks are really low (as in, right around where my pubic hair starts).  I haven't had any bleeding, but I'm no longer able to sit comfortably with my legs together.  I don't have another doctor's appointment for 2 weeks, so I just want to ask:

Is this normal?

     Oh you better check it to your OB-GYNE every now and then, my friend for I read in some books in the authorhouse publishing in the web that oftentime its not normal especially if this is your first time. I suggest that you and your husband do monitor it well every now and then and I hope you continue to post in here for more updates to your situation with the doctor's advise, ofcourse. Thanks

    I think it's normal. Granted I didn't feel it with my first, he was breech.... But now this LO with her head down, good lord, my downstairs is HURTIN!!! 

    You can mention it to you doctor but I'm sure they will tell you, "just wait, it gets way worse!"  

    For realz!

    Yes its normal but I would talk to your doctor about it. I have intense pelvic pressure on my right side. Like im almost bruised inside. Hurts of course when im walking most. But my OB said it was normal and the it was my body shifting for the baby. Tylenol usually helps if it gets too bad for me. But im not worried at a;;.

    I was having the same issue this past weekend. I carried my first way up near my boobs, so this guy being low is odd to me. 

    You may just be going through a growth spurt. I remember from the last time that I would be uncomfortable for a couple days, then things would sort of settle down, then a few weeks would go by annnnd...repeat!  Already the pelvic pressure from this weekend is gone, but we'll see what he has in store for me next!

    This happens to me too, but its not constant...

    My midwife said for me anyway, if I have that uncomfortable pressure feeling inside my hips from time to time, it's just a combination of my uterus stretching, and the fact that I'm a pretty petite person, carrying a large baby. LOL.

    Funny but true. I'm 5'3 and normally about 100lbs. My Norwegian husband is nearly 7 feet tall and a BIG dude in build...so apparently, I'm growing a hearty Scandinavian child. LOL

    Anyway, good luck, sweetie! Remember to rest your feet up!

    This is my 5th baby and I just went to the Dr. for this feeling last week.  It turned out everything was fine, but I know my Dr. told me if something doesn't feel right it is okay to get it checked out JUST IN CASE.  That is what they are there for.  He asked me if I had any bleeding (I didn't), and where the pain was (same plave as yours) and in the end said my weight gain was good and it was just normal pressure.  He told me when I feel this way to put my feet up for a few minutes or if I have been sitting for more than 2 hours, go take a short walk around the office or block depending where I am becuase too much of either can add to the pressure down there.  The point is, if you are worried, go check it out, but it is probably just noremal pressure.
