I don't know if I'm overreacting or if I should call the doc?

Every time I cough or sneeze, I get a shooting pain in my lower abdomen. Takes my breath away, and it lasts for 30 secs to 2-3 minutes. It makes me a little nervous...but as a ftm I don't know if I'm overreacting or if I should call the doctor.

    I call the doctor for anything that has me worried regaurdless if I think I could be overreacting or not.  Better safe than sorry in my oppinion.  I hope it's nothing to be worried about though.

    When in doubt, call the doctor! If I sneeze laying down on my back my lower abdomen feels like I am being stabbed, so I understand. Still, call the doc and be sure!

    This happens to me all the time and it's RLP. If you feel uncomfortable though, call your doc.

    This. I find that it comes in waves. I might get it for a couple days in a row and then not for a while and then it will come back again.

    Those are round ligament pains.  Always be prepared - bend over a tad (or pull your legs up a little if you are sitting) & hold/support your stomach when you cough or sneeze!  They hurt!  It's completely normal though. :-)

    I agree with PP, probably RLP, it hurts like hell. But if you are nervous there is nothing wrong with calling the doctor.

    I have that same thing happen to me... Usually when I sneeze if I'm laying down but ive felt it when I cough too.  I'm going to the doctor tomorrow and it's on my list of questions to ask.  It definitely is a scary feeling.  I will post again tomorrow after I talk to my doctor and let you know what she says.

    Yes! Please post! It didn't happen again so I didn't call the dr....watch it'll happen like 10 times tonight lol. Now I just have a dull ache, but I assume this is very normal with the LO stretching their home out.

    Ok so my doctor said its totally normal!  She said even though it feels like a sharp pain in your uterus it's actually the ligaments on either side of it.  I guess we just have to brace ourself a little better when we sneeze or cough :)
