Pressure on my stomach - normal?

Hi All-

I'm 22.5 weeks along and the last couple of days I've been noticing a bit of pressure below my belly button. I am feeling the baby kick all the time and just wondering if this is normal? I know things stretch etc but not sure if I should call my doc aout it...TIA

So normal! I definitely went through a growth spurt around that time - but I learned to call my doc whenver I had questions or concerns....it's good to be sure and just for your peice of mind....

I agree! Its totally normal your baby has hit the growth spurt so the pressure will probably increase in the upcoming weeks. I have called my doctor like 3 times in the past week with the 'is this normal' question. It just gives you peace of mind that everything is ok

Thanks for the reassurance and the reminder that its okay to call the doc whenever I want! I drank a ton of water this morning and am feeling better - think I overdid it this weekend and coupled with the growth spurt it all makes sense.
