pressure in my lower abdominal area....pregnant?

Hello Ladies,

I've been having pressure in my lower abdominal area for the past two or three weeks. Some days it's stronger than others.
The thing is, I'm still nursing and haven't gotten my period back yet so I don't know if I've ovulated. But it's been over two weeks since I've been feeling this so I should have gotten my period by now if it was ovulation pain. Do you think I could be pregnant? I took some HPT's over a week ago and they were negative, but I thought maybe it was too early yet. I'm tired of testing. This would be my fourth pregnancy...did anyone experience this uterine pressure when pregnant? Especially with a third or fourth pregnancy?
    I've also been getting light-headed when standing quickly, my breasts are a little sore, (but then again I'm nursing)
and have little bouts of nausea every so often...
I will test soon, but meanwhile...can anyone relate?
Thanks a million.

It was my first pregnancy.  My doctor said that the pressure I was feeling in my lower abdominal area was my uterus growing at a fast rate.  You may not of had these symptoms with your previous pregnancies, but they do say pregnancies can be different :)

Congrats on the positive test!

Yes I had this.  I felt full in my lower area in my uterus.  When I orgasmed I cramped afterwards. Just as you describe.  

I thought maybe I was getting Pelvic Inflammatory Disease or a bladder infection. I went to the doctor to get checked (u should to) and it turned out I was pregnant.  

Good luck,

Vicki
