I may not be carrying a mini me in my tummy (ever, since I’m a boy!) but I feel your pain. Being a big guy and having a big gut means this happens to me too, a lot.
But you do have to know that a growing uterus eventually becomes very hard, feeling like you have a rock pushing against your organs! So it’s not -exactly- the same (but it sucks all the same).
I very likely have ceoliac disease, and have to eat gluten to get tested. One reaction is that my stomach bloats up to pregnancy-size over the space of a few minutes- and it’s very solid as well. Maybe a bit closer to feeling your pain? (Albeit over a much shorter time span THANK GOODNESS.)
Well that sounds very similar (and also very painful :( ). When describing the feeling to somebody who has never been pregnant, I compare it to eating a very big meal and feeling painfully bloated all evening.
But eventually you can feel there’s a person inside your belly and you’re pushing against them… it’s… well, it’s weird.
Huh…. the amusement parks around where I’m from don’t usually let pregnant women on the rides for safety reasons. Obviously a shell ride doesn’t pose much of a threat, but it’s still kind of weird to see that not be the case in some other places (at least with those seat bars, that looks PAINFUL).
I’m surprised they let you on, too. When my wife was pregnant, and we visited the carnival, the only thing she could ride was the merry go round – and then just the bench seats on it – not even the horses.

Trust me, all the rides I did were pretty tame. The bar was the most dangerous aspect of it!
