Sore when you Cough or Sneeze?

Just wondering, does anyone's stomach/lower stomach area hurt after you sneeze or cough? I've just noticed this in the past few days.

I shared this once before but worth saying again!!

I have had this problem too and asked my doctor about it the last time I went in. He said it was because your uterus is in an in between stage - before it was too small to bother you but now it's getting bigger and you're feeling the movement I guess. Eventually it'll get big enough it won't have room to move and you won't have the pain. Anyway he said it's fine and completely normal.

I've definitely had luck with bending over and holding my abdomen - that helps a lot!! 

Good luck!!

Thanks for sharing again!!
I wanted to make sure it wasn't just me. My DH was a little worried when I coughed and said ow!

I figured it was totally normal since things are changing in there. Just not fun and unexpected!

Yes. Once it even felt like I tore something!

Oh yeah!  I've also had a pretty bad cold/sinus congestion and blowing my nose hurts my uterus area too.  All sorts of little pulls and twitches down there every time I do anything but sit!

Just once, last week, but it totally freaked me out!  I was lying in bed and coughed and it felt like my uterus exploded.  Glad to know this is normal!

Glad to hear this is normal! I have also been holding my stomach when I sneeze and this seems to help.
