pulled a muscle sneezing?

ifwisheswerefishes

i sneezed, and i was trying to do my Kegels to avoid a snissing incident. all of a sudden, i felt this awful pain in my left side, right by my ute. i just about screamed...it hurt SO badly, like a knife. it's not nearly as intense, but it still hurts like hell.

did i just pull a muscle, or did i do something worse?

I've had this happen and it does hurt... according to my midwife it's normal.  Just a muscle spasm.

RLP.

Hurts like hell but normal

I do this when I sneeze, and it feels the same as my round ligament pain, so I'm guessing that's what it is.

What a ridiculous thing to happen to you while sneezing. That might actually be worse than snissing (maybe not). I agree that it's normal but I'm sorry it happened!

RLP?

RLP = Round Ligament Pain

When the ligaments surrounding your uterus stretch. It can also happen when changing positions, standing up to quick, pulling yourself up out of bed, etc. It hurts! But it's totally normal.

This. I've had stop-you-in-your-tracks-yell-out-loud kind of RLP this time around. It's just stretching although it can be very painful at times.
