Yes, it’s normal. 20 weeks is when baby is still relatively low but of significant weight already. I also feel a lot of pressure in lower abdomen when I was 20 weeks. And worse when you start feeling fetal movements, baby kicks you right in the cervix. But around 22 weeks or so baby will start moving up and the pressure will slowly be relieved. So don’t worry about it. :) But also because baby move up, you will have other problems like acid reflux and nearing 3rd trimester breathing difficulty. But take one step at a time.
