A member asked:

I am 8 weeks pregnant and all is well according to ob/gyn. is it normal to feel a light pressure on my cervix/lower pelvis when sitting as this is my first pregnancy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

8 w pregnant ?'s: At 8 w of pregnancy, the uterus is much larger than before preganancy, and may cause a feeling such as you describe. This is not unusual, but if it persists or worsens, see your OB physician for an exam and possible pelvic ultrasound.
