Ugh, I feel like I did when my DD dropped at 9 months last time. Except right now I don't have an extra 20 lbs on my frame nor am I really uncomfortable.

BUT, I am incredibly aware of this heaviness in my lower abdomen, more on my right side. It's not cramping, it's just heavy. I almost imagine like the baby had a huge growth spurt overnight and now weighs 7 lbs except my frame doesn't show it.

Does anyone else have this sensation??? Am I doing the description justice, maybe not? It just feels "weird".

I have that too- especially at night and when I go to pee in the middle of the night I always feel as if the baby is just going to pop out.

I think I might be having the same thing. I've been trying to explain it to my husband and mom but I can't find the right words. It doesn't hurt...or even feel that uncomfortable but my belly just feels so...THERE all of the sudden.

I notice the same thing at night before I go to bed and when I get up to pee in the middle of the night. Very weird. I didn't feel that with my dd til probably 6 or 7 months.

Yes, it feels so odd. Like a big round hard ball in there.

I've started getting braxton hicks at night, too.

This is going to be a fun one, I have a feeling.

maybe it's something that happens sooner and sooner with each pregnancy ...LOL.... or a sign that our insides are already staring to give out!! I am ALREADY PEEING WHEN I SNEEZE!!! I didn't do this until 34 weeks with DD!!!

I've been noticing this too. And I think baby is already squishing my bladder. Already!
I was wondering if maybe LO was just getting a head start on the whole "dropping" thing. Cuz, yeah, feels like when ds dropped. Only without the full 8+ pounds to go with it.
Do you think this is just part of the 2nd tri growth spurt?
