20 Weeks And Feeling a Lot of Pressure
Posted: 03-24-06 14:13pm

I am 20 weeks and 5 days and I am feel
very tight and a lot of pressure in my
abdomin. A girl that my sister works
with just lost her baby and we were due on
or around the same time. And that kinda
worried me because of my loss. So I
called my doc and they stated that it's
normal while I am growing....But it just
feels really weird. My stomach feels
really heavy and I had a growth spert and
am sticking way out there now. No one
else thinks so but I can feel it. I am
getting where I can't see much of my feet
anymore. I can see my toes but that is
almost all.
I know that it's just pregnancy and that
is the way things happen....But everyone
started asking me how far along I am and
when I tell them 20 weeks they say "oh my
your going to be big" or "wow only 20
weeks" I can't really be that big....Can
i??
But now she is moving around in there and
it just feels so cute to think that she is
just flipping around in there or that she
is playing.
I just feel so blah right now and needed
to vent.

Hi there! That is what we are here for
come here anytime, if you have questions,
concerns or just want to vent, that is
what we are here for but remember, we are
not doctors, I totally understand about
you being big with being pregnant, my 1st
born son weighed 10 lbs 2 oz, I felt so
miserable towards the end, I could not get
comfortable, my mood swings was horrible,
I was no fun at all to be around. Just
think, you are only half way.
Good luck to you and yours!

believe me I do know that I am .O.N.L.Y.
20 weeks....Thanks for the reminder.
Nah I am just joking, I am aware that you
guys are not doctors, it just helps to
know that there are others that know what
I am going thru.
My husband was 10 lbs and 11 oz and like
25 inches long. Do you think that will
have an effect on how big my little one is
going to be??? God I hope not.
Thanks for the support sandyallen.

I got this off of a web site, I know your
20 weeks but I think it works for for time
too.
Changes in you
at this point of your pregnancy some of
your friends and family may say you look
like you are carrying twins and others may
say way to small for how far along you are
in your pregnancy. You need not concern
yourself with what they are saying,
remember every pregnancy is different, and
babies grow at different rates.
That was for 23 weeks. Everyone is
different. Some woman are small, some
woman are huge. I am not that big, only
showing a little and on sunday I will be
25 weeks. I was heavier to start so that
can make a difference.
If your real worried, call your doctor.
Good luck

I asked my doctor about the weight thing
too. I was 9 lbs and my husband was 10
lbs. The doctor said that the baby will
grow based on the mothers size. I am only
5'2" so he said that I will not have a
large baby even though my husband and I
were both large when we were born. He
said once the baby is born, the fathers
genes will take over. The doctor said you
can also judge how tall you child will be
by the size of your husbands feet. My
husband has a size so the doctor said we
will most likely have a tall child...Even
though I am short. Hope all that
helps!!

With me, i'm about 5'8 & i'm bearly
showing @ all for 19 weeks..
I went to the dr the other day & they
said the reason why was b/c I was kinda
tall..On my sonogram there is a spot on
top that says 17.3 cm is that how long he
is? If that's correct he's going to be a
long fellow :)

Well I am only 5 feet tall so maybe my
skoot will be tiny...Not too tiny
though...I am just really feeling really
large at this time, with my last baby I
just popped out at like 24 weeks and
looked huge. But at the same time I was
retaining water like there wasn't going to
be any left tomorrow. It was crazy. I
gained like 30 lbs in 5 days because the
fluids that they were piping thru me
weren't going out.
My doc says that is why I am getting
bigger quicker, I have only gained 5 lbs
but I guess it's all in my stomach. I
know that my appt on the 5th will be a lot
more.
I did call my doc about the pressure as
posted in the origional post, and he
wasn't too concerned about it. Since
that post my stomach doesn't feel so much
pressure. Phew. I feel like I can
breath now.
Thanks for all your advice....I am just
not feeling too pretty right now and it's
hard having my husband that used to show
me a lot of attention is just kinda now
sluffing me off, and not being to
attentive to me.....That is the hardest
part of all of this. He just tells me
that he is worried about loosing this one
too. But so am i....And I need him to be
there (i am so used to him being there for
me to talk to and now he isn't, I thinkt
hat this is the hardest thing being
alone.) he is a good guy just dealing
with this the wrong way...Even though we
have been told things are perfect with the
baby, he still doesn't believe it.
Anyway, sorry for the long post.

Hey, no problem. :lol: i've had that
pressure thing before my doc said it's
just bloating. She says it helps to not
drink soda and to switch to low sodium
foods. But then again maybe the pressure
that you felt wasn't bloating, I don't
know. If your doc isn't worried about
it, then I wouldn't be. :lol: I think
that me and you need a relaxation class...
:wink:

You're always going to have people tell
you that you either appear to be too small
or too large in the belly. The only
opinion that matters is your dr's when you
get measured. For instance, if you're 25
weeks, then you "should" measure 25 cm
from the top of your pubic area to the top
of your uterus. You can measure plus or
minus 2 cm from the week of gestation aka
again, if you're 25 weeks you can measure
23 cm or 27 cm and be normal.
Really, don't rely on insensitive comments
like that. They're based on nothing.

U'r too sweet, I love my belly. I love
the baby in the belly and I know that my
baby is growing and I am growing with her.
My little amelia is beautiful and I
don't mind getting bigger. I feel huge
and having people telling me that I am
huge just kinda hurts. You know? I
don't like other people looking at my
tummy and judging my size.
I just love my little baby to no extent
and I dont' think that my heart could
handle anymore love for her. I just
don't want the coments and wispers.

People are really insensitive...Not to
mention idiotic. Seriously, just ignore
them. Most of the time they have no idea
what they're talking about anyway. I
went out yesterday and most people were
staring at me like I was about to go into
labor at any second. Several people
actually made that comment to me.
Crikey!! I've still got 7 weeks and 3
days to go. :x

I know they are....People just really
don't care.....I just want people to leave
me and my belly alone (unless I ask for
attention.) all old people dont' say bad
things just want to touch. Oh well, I
dont' take anything anyone says to heart
anymore.
Anyway, you are doing good? Feeling
well?
Not long now for you. Yay

Yeah i'm doing pretty well... Loving the
fact that it's getting closer and closer
to zero hour and I can see my m&m :p.
Just teasing you. :lol: you were
talking about people touching the belly, I
hate when people touch the belly. Only
.C.L.O.S.E friends and .C.L.O.S.E family.
Anyone else is liable to have their hands
chopped off... :twisted:

Oh yeah I agree.....No need to rub it
in.....About your little m&m being
her. I still have 19 weeks to go....Well
actually I have 17 more weeks to go
because she will be here early.
Hey have you read the post in the teen
forum about the young girl wanting to
leave her baby with a stitter while she @
17 wants to go out and get drunk all
night???? We can't wait to see our
babies and get to bewith them but she is
pulling the I want to go out and i'll do
what I want thing and it's just
frusterating me to no end. Just take a
peak at the last few pages.

Sucks, doesn't it? I mean there are a
lot of us here w/problems (fertility
issues, repeat miscarriages) dying to have
our babies and these little girls pop 'em
out and want to leave them. Hardly seems
fair.

Doesn't it???? I can't wait for my baby
and don't know if i'll ever go out again,
but I do know that if I do....I'll be
leaving my baby with my mom or sister and
I sure as hell would miss her too much to
stay out all night. But these little
girls dont' care. I am just glad that I
can have my little one after loosing my
last one. God, I am glad I dont' know
her in person.
Grrrrr
