Pressure during my 18th week.

I'm 17 and I'm in my 18th week of my pregnancy. Last night I began feeling a little pressure on my lower stomach above my pubic bone, right about where my uterus is. I stretched out and went to sleep. I woke up this morning with no pressure at all. For some reason it doesn't feel normal. Is my baby okay?

as long as you are not bleeding i would say theres nothing to worry about, its normal to feel some cramping because your ligaments are stretching while your baby is growing. I was like that before i had my m/c i always get worried about everything, and my midwife told me that its normal as long as theres no spotting or bleeding.

Well i hope i helped you in some way. i wish you good luck on your pregnancy! take care and Happy new year! =)
