HEEELLLPPP!!!!!! SHARP PAIN!!!! FTM!!!!

So I go to throw a wet towel over the shower rod, which is way taller than me, and while trying to straighten out the towel on the rod I felt a sharp pain at the bottom of my stomach. What does that mean? The pain made me bend over while holding the bottom of my stomach for a minute. Now it's a lil sore. Help!!!! Ftm!!

Sounds very much like round ligament pain to me also. And no, I highly doubt the umbilical cord is wrapped around anything. If you ask because you reached above your head, no - that's an old wives tale.

Ok one more question, sorry. So u ladies don't think I reached to high above my head and pulled a muscle or something do u? Or the umbilical cord isn't wrapped around his neck or any other body part is it?

It sounds like round ligament pain. Its just due to things stretching out and making room for baby. Unless you are feeling menstral type cramping or bleeding, I wouldn't worry! If you are still sore or having pain I would call your dr/midwife in the morning. They should always help you feel reassured or have you come in to check the baby.  But of sounds like normal pregnancy
pain.  Good luck and congrats!

Probably your ligament stretching. It happens to me when I stretch or sneeze or roll over in bed. Sometimes it just happens. It's your uterus growing. If it's super painful and persistent though, get it checked out asap.
