When I sit down to pee, it feels like there is immense pressure right under my belly button and in my pelvic area. Its almost as if someone is standing on me. 

Is anyone else having some discomfort going to the bathroom? I have a tilted uterus and don't know if its to blame for them. 

Anyone have any ideas?!

Hmm, I haven't had those exact symptoms, but I have felt pressure (lower than below my belly button -- like really low) before when I was pregnant with DS2, and it was really uncomfortable every time I peed. It turns out I had a urinary tract infection. I'm sure your midwife will check your urine for that next time you see her -- just make sure you're drinking a lot!

we have some test strips here at the house that test for UTIs and all kinds of other stuff. I havent done one yet, but I don't think its a UTI... At least I hope its not. I'll test the next time I need to go. 

Thanks.

I feel pressure, but not like someone is standing on me. I do have to say that if I can't pee right away and have to hold it, it really hurts. Not just uncomfortable, but really hurts.
