Lower abdomen heaviness

Has anyone experienced lower abdomen heaviness during their pregnancy. I am currently 18 weeks, and feel a heaviness. Is it normal? What can it be! It's getting me paranoid...

Sometimes your baby will move lower and that's when you'll feel the pressure.

Its probably the baby weight that is giving you pressure.. im 32 weeks and im experiencing the same thing, and the doctor said its the babys weight. I dont think its something u should be worried, but when u can maybe its better to talk with ur doctor. Hope I helped. Good luck

If I was further along I probably wouldn't be too concerned as baby is bigger at that point. It's reassuring that am not the only one experiencing this though. Thank you for your reply x
