why does sneezing hurt so much?

steinso · October 2009

every time I sneeze i get excrutiating pain on one side or the other, but sometime both -- does anybody else get this?

...and if you have any advice for the charlie horse...that would be great too!

I had that problem too, I believe it's connected to Round Ligament Pain (have you had that yet?). It was sharp pain right in the seam between belly and leg. I think it's stretching related etc. I then had about a week of Round Ligament Pain around week 19 and then I think baby settled into the new belly size and it hasn't hurt to sneeze for a while... I'm guessing it will be intermittent as growth spurts occur.

It's round ligament pain. If you can, brace your stomach as your sneeze! It should help!

I asked my doctor and she told me its the round ligament, I don't get it everytime I sneeze but the bigger ones.

I definitely get this too. Good to see other post here what causes it & to know I'm not alone.

Nope, you're not alone Smile

And the ladies are right, it's your round ligaments that suspend your uterus that are hurting. They're being stretched and pulled like crazy these days so any jarring/sudden movement of them (like that caused by sneezing) is going to hurt.

I got up last night to go to the bathroom. Came back and sneezed, it hurt so bad I screamed. I woke up my husband. Then I got scared and just started crying. Glad to see that someone else has it as well.
