_ ouch!!. sneezing.!.?

[AmyPrieto]

I just sneezed while sitying down. It hurt really bad on my lower left side for about half a minute. I wanted to scream. Anyone else experience this?. && what causes this to happen?.

[AmyPrieto]

Lol well I guess now I can have an idea what contractions would feel like since this will be my 2nd c section.

And that's what contractions feel like!! :-|

It's called round ligament pain. I have it all the time as well... it is normal and it helps if you hold your abdomen tightly before you sneeze or cough(sometimes i hold my abdomen and bend over a little) and get up slowly.

Yes me too, happens all the time, got a little better as ligaments stretched out a little more. Perfectly normal and very common, but very painful!!

Yes last night I was in the middle of sitting up and I sneezed I almost cried it hurt so bad. The left side and the top of my abdomen hurt for minutes after. I think it has to do with the stretched muscles :/

I am also glad to know it doesn't just happen with me! Any time I cough or sneeze I'm getting that pain..like something stretched inside..only lasts a few seconds to a minute but still scary!

[AmyPrieto]

Yes it happens when I stand up too fast also. Glad to know I'm not the only one who experiences this.

Yes. When I sneeze my whole stomach tightens up and hurts for a min afterwards. I think it's just the pressure of the baby

Oh my god this happens to me too! Left lower abdomen feels like I pulled a muscle when I sneeze. Sometimes if I stand up to soon I feel a pulling sensation in my pelvic area too. Have no clue what these feelings are
