I'm 22 weeks as well! And I've had a lot of pressure as well in my lower abdomen-vaginal area.. this is my third pregnancy though.. it only gets worse girl! But its well worth it! And we have less than 4 months until we are going to be finished!!! :) I'm due Oct 1st. But I'm going to push for an induction.. I was induced with my two sons..the first one due to gestation diabetes and the second because I passed 40 weeks and they didn't want to risk him getting too big.

Hi!
If you were my patient, I would advise you that it is completely normal to feel pressure and activity at this stage of pregnancy.  I would probably want to do an ultrasound to rule out twins.  BUT probably this is a sign of a healthy active baby.
If the pressure becomes unbearable or if you have bleeding contractions or leaking of fluid, contact your doctor right away.
Good luck!
