Anyone had sharp pain where placenta is attached?

in 3rd Trimester
I was laying down and reached across my body to grab something.  I felt this sudden, horribly sharp pain at the top of my uterus.  I know my placenta is attached there (got in a car accident a few weeks ago and was checked for a placental abruption then).  The pain slowly subsided and it's just a little tender to the touch now.  I'm not bleeding and the baby has moved a few times.  I know if I call, I'll be told to come in for monitoring but I also hate to overreact.  Has anyone had anything similar?  TIA!

    The placenta tends to move as the uterus grows, so chances are it's not in the same place that it was a few weeks ago, so they may be totally unrelated. I would keep an eye on the baby's movement and any bleeding whatsoever, but chances are that it was just a pulled muscle.

    Does it hurt more when you take deep breaths?  I actually went to the ER for something that sounds similar the other day...  turned out to be nothing more than a pulled muscle from endless lifting of my heavy 15 month old.

    No.  Hurts a little more when I have a contraction though (unrelated... I've been having regular contractions since 24 weeks... the joys of an irritable uterus).

    I have something similar sporadically I think. Feels like a sharp twinge a few inches above my belly button. My doc said it's just a muscle twinge. Pretty much that the muscle gets ticked after repeated rubbing or hitting from baby.
