Pregnancy pains?

jtaylor94

Is it normal to have a tightening feeling as if a muscle was torn in my abdominal area?
I realize I'm pregnant so I don't need to be told it's because I'm pregnant. Please just let me know if this is normal or not. I haven't seen my ob and won't until 7/22/14. It's painful for me to move, cough, sneeze, walk or stand. I've just literally been laying in bed all day today and yesterday.

It could just be growing pains but I would call the OB or the nurse just to ask. I get sharp pains too and when I described them to the DR she said it was just the uterus growing and expanding. It doesn't hurt to call and ask. I'm sure they have heard worse questions.

Yea, sounds like it could be Round Ligament Pain. It sucks but is totally normal. Like the PP said, if you're concerned, just call your doctor. They're there to help you!

I was having weird pains yesterday so I called my doctor.  They suggested I stay in the ac with my feet up and drinking lots of water.  I'm working from home today but since I got home yesterday and layed down I am feeling better.  Is it possible you are a little dehydrated?

I've had pains like round ligament pains and gas pains. My motto is, when in doubt get it checked out. It's probably just what I have experienced but giving a call to your doctor is always a good idea.

This. I had no idea how much water I needed. My ob said 100 oz/day. That's like two of the huge Evians. It's almost a chore but I guarantee it will help you feel better, even if it doesn't provide complete relief.

I get sharp stabbing pain every now and then as well. It usually happens when I move or shift too quickly and lasted about 30 secs. I just think it is round ligament pain.

I'm definitely feeling like this. In the beginning it hurt if I sneezed or coughed but as time goes on it feels almost bruised all across the bikini line. Every time I stand up I am almost doubled over for a few seconds after and the pain will slowly fade. Occassionally it'll only ease a little and then walking hurts even worse. So not fun.

It sucks but I assume it's RLP.
