Maybe a dumb question...

But sometimes if I cough pretty hard or I have dry heaves my uterus starts hurting. It feels like it's tightening up. Anybody else experience this? I'm pretty sure it's fine, but I just want to know why this happens...

    When I get BH it tightens up like that.  It's pretty normal as long as it's not happening all of the time.

    I get pain (sudden, sharp, lasts a few minutes) sometimes when I sneeze or cough hard.  I've just attibuted to RLP (Round Ligament Pain).  Maybe that's what you are experiencing.

    Haha thanks. I guess it could be RLP. I always just think it's LO taking the sides of my ute and tugging on them just to piss me off. Wink

    I get it when I sneeze, most likely round ligament pain....

    I asked my ob the same question. She said they are contractions, and that it's normal for our uteruses to "practice" contracting. It's not concerning unless you have more than 5 in an hour.

    I have had that before. It's the normal muscles you are using for that action tightening up and thus probably pushing or tightening up your uterus area. I don't think it's anything to worry about unless the pain continues after.
