Does anyone else feel a lot of general abdominal soreness?

Dancether · November 2012

I am 17 and a half weeks now. I feel like since about week 12 or 13, I have just had a LOT of time with a sore feeling. It's not cramping, it's not pain, it's not debilitating or even bad, it's just THERE. I had an u/s around week 13/14 and everything looked great, so I don't think there's anything wrong. I have my next one coming up on the 12th, so I will mention it to my doctor, but it just seems like kind of par for the course with all the stretching and growing and moving happening in that area. Just wondering if anyone else is feeling this?

i don't have any in that area, but my uterus is so sore, it's kicking my but. it usually starts in the afternoon and goes on until i go to bed. it gets my worried sometimes, but my OB said this would happen and i don't have any spotting.

i hope i get another ultrasound at my next appointment because i really want to see how big the baby got!

I've been experiencing this for the last few weeks on and off. At 12 weeks, I felt like someone kicked me in the lower ab...I was achy. My midwife said its fine, just rlp. I haven't had any spotting or bleeding, so I just remain calm. I also heard the hb again a week ago, so I know everything is fine. This past week I've been having tons of rlp. If I get out of bed to fast or roll over, it feels like I'm being stabbed. The rlp is starting to moving up past my belly button. LO is growing!

Yeah, this is pretty normal. =/

earlier on, it felt like i had been doing ab workouts, and i get the occasional cramping, but nothing else other that that

I've been having a lot of soreness, too. Growing pains!

I think that's pretty normal? My abdomen is really tender so I do my best to avoid being bumped or wear tight lower-fitting pants

Just not comfortable!

Yep. It's sore, and occasionally it feels very tight and uncomfortable. I'm assuming it's normal especially as it's my first pregnancy.

danuli8 · November 2012

Yes, I have been sore and tender off and on for the last two weeks or so. I just assumed it was RLP.

Yup. Mine moves around (occasionally front and center, sides, higher, lower, all over) but it has been very frequent lately. I'm assuming its all normal growing pains of various kinds.

I've noticed that my abs/core are more sore now after any workout. I don't think I realized how much I engaged my core to stabilize my body when I did weight lifting for back or chest or even legs. The muscles are stretching as my belly grows, so I think it's normal for them to be sore. Today I had a band concert, and some of the pieces required a lot of breath control. Even that made me feel more sore afterward. I did weight lifting for abs and legs on Friday, so I'm sure I'll be feeling it by tomorrow.

Awesome! What instrument do you play? (My husband and I are both choir directors!)

I get all kinds of soreness to shooting pains if I move the wrong way. While it can be uncomfortable when I'm awake, it's actually worse when I'm sleeping. I go to change positions and I don't think to support the belly in my sleep. I wake up to shooting pains in my stomach. Usually it eases up once I'm done re-positioning, but the tenderness can last for a long time.

I have had a lot of soreness in my abdomen too. I just stretch and I feel a little better. Don't know what it is called, but I reach my arms up to the sky and kind of move side to side. Feels so nice!

akraxner · November 2012

Yes! Very much! I was having a lot of discomfort last night when trying to sleep. It feels very sore in my abdomen and uterus. Not a lot of fun!

Dancether · November 2012

You all are my heroes! That was EXACTLY what I needed to hear- that there are plenty of other people dealing with it, too. Feeling MUCH better now (well, not the soreness, but psychologically). THANK YOU!!!

Definitely tell your doctor, but it's probably 100% normal.

I have the same thing going and my OB said it was just round ligament pain, which is usually described as sharp pains, but apparently doesn't always feel that way. So no worries; it's all just part of the joys (ha) of pregnancy!
