Does anyone else feel pain when they sneeze?? Every time I sneeze it hurts, is this normal??

You and me both ugh

sometimes in lower abdomen but then I thought it was due to my fibroids.. you are definitely not alone

Okay thanks girls 😊 it's just been happening often and I was worried something was wrong with my little one inside. I'm so new to this so I'm not sure what's normal and not haha thank you 😊

The pain you experience when you sneeze is called round ligament pain.

The round ligament is one of several thick ligaments that surround and support your uterus during pregnancy. The round ligament connects your groin and the front of your uterus. Normally, the round ligament stretches, tightens and relaxes slowly. However, during pregnancy, the round ligament is stretched out further.

When you sneeze, the round ligament reacts to the sudden movement by tightening quickly, similar to the way a rubber band snaps. This can cause a sharp jabbing feeling around your belly.

Although it can be painful, it’s usually not something to worry about

curl up before sneezing if you can in time. It worked for me

That's really helpful, it's explains a lot. Thanks :) I just didn't know what to think and I wanted to make sure it wasn't hurting the fetus in any way, thanks a lot 😊
