Pain when I cough or sneeze

Ethereal · Apr 4th, 2012, 12:27 PM

It's only been for a week now, but whenever I am lying straight or standing straight, it really hurts when I cough or sneeze, but it's fine when I am sitting or lying with my legs curled up.

Just wondering if this is normal, and if so, what causes it?
Considering I'm choked up with the cold atm, it's really annoying me

I have the same! Feels like a pulled muscle. Dr said its just my expanding tummy and the stress and force of the cough or sneeze. He said to try bending over while coughing and release some pressure on my tummy

Oh my this happened to me last night in bed, I was stretched out and sneezed holy crap I just about died.

I get this too I'm sure it just everything pulling when you sneeze. I also get it when I move to fast!

Yeah, I get this too. I think it's from ligaments and muscles stretching. Nowadays the sound of my sneezes is "*achoo* OW!"

apparently its the round ligaments stretching.....i brace myself when i cough/sneeze, i practically scrunch into a ball. I had it with my son, and i have it this time too

It's called round ligament pain and is 100% normal.

I've heard it begins around 12 weeks though I had it way earlier than that, and so do a lot of people.

I would say pulled muscle. It happens to me all the time. If im laid in bed and need to cough or sneeze I have to get into a certain position fast lol. I picked my son up in a funny way earlier and was in soo much pain after as i really pulled it

Yep I specifically asked my dr today about this exact issue and she said its a form of round ligament pain, and that some women just get it and for them it's normal. Joy for us!

Very normal, I get it as well, and my doctor said most women do
