strange pain

I am 13 weeks pregnant. Sometimes when I sneeze or cough I get a pain in my lower abdomen. It's like I have a pulled muscle. I've had 3 miscarriages so I know what that feels like so I'm not worried about that. I was just wondering if anyone else has that.

It is probably most likely round ligament pain! It shouldn't last too long. It's totally normal! :)

I've been having similar pains! I don't remember this with my previous pregnancy. I find making sure I'm not in certain positions (like tightly curled on the couch) when I cough helps, when I can avoid it.

Its because your muscles are stretching from being prego, when you sneeze this adds more pressure, which causes pain... usually this goes away as you get bigger and your body gets used to it...
