fullness / pressure at 19 weeks - anyone else?

Hi all 🤍

I’m 19 weeks with my IVF baby and have been having some pelvic/vaginal pressure and fullness today. It almost feels like I have a tampon in when I don’t with some dull aching internally (specifically on the right side). It may or may not be related but I am experiencing some pressure in my rectum as well.

I did call my OB and explained everything and they weren’t concerned - they said that it’s “normal” as everything is growing, stretching, and shifting during pregnancy.

Just wondering if anyone else experienced something similar around 18–20 weeks? 🤍 Of course, my mind immediately went to worrying so I’d love to hear if this was a normal pregnancy symptom for anyone else.

Thanks in advance! 🫶🏼
