Feeling some pressure in the uterus/lower stomach area

I'm exactly 12 weeks today, first baby. And recently started feeling pressure (not exactly sure if it's that) down low. Could this be me feeling my insides expanding and growing of the baby ? My stomach is getting bigger now so I'm just wondering if it's that and I'm just paranoid. I know everyone's different, has anyone else experienced this?

    Just expanding and round ligament pains. Just drink lots of water and put your feet up :)

    That sounds normal to me too. It's probably just your uterus expanding.

    I'm just coming up to 9 weeks and have definitely started feeling a bit of pressure in the last couple of days. Just uterus and baby growing and pushing everything aside.

    Happy 12 weeks!! I'm 12 weeks today too :):) I've had some more pressure, and think that it's just everything moving.  I had some cramps this morning before I got out of bed, but I think I just really had to pee and it immediately went away after I emptied my bladder and stretched a bit.  If you're super concerned, call the doc, but I think that cramps, pressure, gas pains, etc. are all just part of this lovely process. Hope you're feeling better!

    I'm 12 w tomorrow, and have experienced similar feelings. Some deep cramping. Too low and tight to be "flutters" I think! Agreed, it must be the extra volume down there. Exciting!

    I'm almost 11 weeks with my second and started feeling that "pressure" this week. Even though it's my second, I don't remember this feeling with my first so I'm glad you asked.

    Your uterus comes up from behind the public bone around 12 weeks. That "bloat" and pressure is most likely your uterus now.

    Braxton Hicks contractions (cramping) can start as early as week 6-7.

    Ah! I'm so glad you posted this. I was getting worried as I've felt some pressure and some light cramping. Glad to know I'm not the only one feeling this way!
