Hurts to Laugh?

[Spiket77]

My husband and I watch this silly show called Wipe Out sometimes. Last week we watched it and I noticed when I was lying down and started laughing, I would get sharp sudden pains in my lower abdomen. I would promptly sit up and it would pass. Last night we were watching it again and the same thing happened. Maybe I am being punished for laughing at people falling down?

Anyway...just wondering if this is round ligament pain or what? Anybody else have this problem? I had the same kind of pain when I had a cough going on a few weeks ago. I just get nervous as I'm only 11-1/2 weeks pregnant.

Thanks for you responses!

Thanks girls. I thought it was too early for that kind of pain.

Yes! Your ligaments are over-stretched right now. Laughing (especially when laying in certain positions) will pull those already over-stretched ligaments and cause pain. That is why pregnant women in movies generally move REALLY slow. ;-) Because sudden movements or twists can cause that sharp pain. Won't hurt baby but can definitely hurt you!

Sounds like ligament pain to me. If I'm in a certain position...certain movements can cause a pulling or tugging on already sensative ligaments and it hurts.  But as you said, moving or changing positions usually resolves it.

that show cracks me up....especially when they try jumping over those balls after falling in the mud its obvious nobody is gonna make it over all of them...

it sounds like round ligament pain to me....i used to get it and sometimes when i laugh now i feel my belly in a ball...not sure how to describe it but it doesnt hurt

you're almost through the first trimester....hang in there.... :)
