Latest Question:
I am 22 weeks pregnant and I'm feeling a little pressure, should I be concerned?
I don't have any pain or bleeding or anything, I just feel like baby is sitting low in my abdomin but I haven't felt anything like this before, and 3 days ago her heartrate was fine (155 bpm) . I'm a first time mom, and I'd just like to know it's okay. Thank you!

Increase in pressure CAN be normal baby starts getting bigger and the pressure sensation will increase as you get further along in pregnancy. If you are having pain, leaking of fluid, abnormal discharge or bleeding, you need to be seen ASAP.
