Pressure

I was wondering if it's possible at 25 weeks for the baby to be laying in a way that it puts pressure on your rectum and makes you feel like you've always got to use the bathroom. She has been breech till about a week or two ago and now it feels like I need to go, even if I don't.

I'm only 19 weeks and baby lies real low. Sometimes I feel pressure in my vaginal area, but I'm pretty sure its the baby kicking my cervix! So, if your baby is head down, then its totally possible to be feeling like that!

lol Joy said what I was trying to say but I just realized that my "absolutely" might have been misunderstood..I was saying "absolutely it can be felt earlier" not absolutely 25wks is too early. my bad, long day, LOL.

Nah, it can happen sooner. Just depends on where baby is lying! My sister has horrible pelvic pressure her entire pregnancies to the point she "feels like the baby is going to fall out".

Absolutely! It happens later in pregnancy because of sheer weight and the fact that the baby's so big there's no way to avoid it...but the baby can definitely cause positional pressure earlier.

Ok. I know that it happens in later pregnancy and when you're about to give birth, but I thought 25 weeks was a little early so I wanted to check.
