Anyone else had LO pull muscles?

A couple nights ago I felt a sharp tearing pain in my chest, just under my boobs. I thought it was a pulled muscle (since I've had them before in other places), but I asked my OB about it at my appt yesterday and she said that it's completely possible for ab muscles to not only pull but even separate during pregnancy. Yay. Now on top of being generally uncomfortable for the next few weeks, I have a constant ache under my boobs which jumps to pain when LO jams her foot into it (which, of course, is her favorite thing to do). I tried to ice it, but it only seems to work for a few minutes.

 

Any one else had this happen to them?

    Oh yes, except mine are in my lower stomach beneath my belly button. They feel remarkably like being stabbed (though I suppose I have never been stabbed so it more like I would imagine being stabbed). I have had to stop working earlier than I wanted because the pain was just too much for me to handle. It gets better for a day or so, but then LO grows a bit or stretches his arm and the flash of pain is back again. Sorry you are going through this, I wouldn't wish it upon anyone!

    I will say this. I have a pulled muscle in my side. I asked my dr about it on Monday. Mine ISN'T from DS though... mine's from my abusive ex! Long story. But the dr did say that any pulled muscles won't be able to heel while you're pregnant. So, if it is a pulled muscle, look forward to it being there until after delivery. Mine has been there for 2 months!
