is it normal?!

This is my first pregnancy and I will be 27 weeks soon Tuesday. I've had an amazingly easy pregnancy!, but the last 2 days or so, by the mid/end of the day I literally feel like I'm lugging a watermelon around in the bottom  of my tummy.Like pressure, but not painful. I Might add I have a demanding/ busy job as a home health nurse and am on my feet almost all day. I just hear all these stories about placenta rupturing / detaching...... I was very small (116lbs) before pregnancy and my husband thinks the extra weight, 20lbs and a swollen uterus is just catching up with me?? Normal?

Okay, thank you. My daughter is really low as well. I figured that was what it was, but I over think everything.

This is also when Braxton hicks (may have spelled it wrong) contractions can start, not painful, but pressure. Totally normal
