pain when sneezing

A bit of an odd one, but as a first time mum I'm worrying about everything, I'm only 12 1/2 weeks but if noticed in the last couple of days when I sneeze I get a sharp stabbing pain on my right side lower tummy (by my hip ) it doesn't last long just a quick pain, anyone else get this? ( when I say sneeze, I haven't got a cold or flu, just a tickerly nose) thanks in advsnce .

I'm 13 wks and I'm not sick but I have had non stop sneezing since I got pregnant and I have verious sharp pains when it happens some things I notice help me when I feel a sneez coming I'll grab the part I know is about to hurt and hold it( usually my side as well) til the sneeze is over (while typing this I think I have already sneezed 3 times haha) or I'll try to lean/ bend forward with the sneeze. Other then that I just make sure I'm near a bathroom because any sneeze will usually make me have to go pee haha

Hi I'm 15 weeks I get the same pain when I sneeze or cough. Don't worry its just the ligaments in your abdomen stretching to get ready to carry your baby when he/ she's  bigger. I had it my first pregnancy and this one. Just rest a little it shouldn't last long. Good luck enjoy the ride.
