One thing that happens the more times you are pregnant is that you seem to pop out faster -- your uterus isn't any bigger, but due to progesterone and bloating -- and previously stretched out abdominal muscles -- you just can't hold the bloating in as well.

You may feel mild crampiness or a stretching sensation -- and even pressure -- at 6 weeks. If you have some uterine prolapse from your other deliveries that can contribute to a sensatin of pressure, too.
