12 Weeks Pregnant

Sore low abdomen?

I am twelve weeks pregnant and just started to become very tender to the touch on my lower abdomen, just above my pelvic bone. It also hurts in the same area when I laugh. Is this normal?

  • You just started consider yourself lucky.  I started a few weeks ago and it is not a happy feeling at all.  I have mentioned it to my OB and he did not say much just if it gets worst to let him know.
  • I'm the same im 12 weeks pregnant and been getting them for about a month now and even when I go to stand I get half way of standing and Im in pain but the doctors haven't done enything and just say it should pass I thourt I was the only one until I read this :
  • Me too!!!  I believe (but don't quote me on it) it's called round ligament pain.  Totally normal.  Mine is typically if I laugh hard, cough or sneeze.  Very sharp pain that only lasts a second or two. 
  • I'm also12 weeks . My bottom of my back is starting to hurt, but the pain goes away. When your lower abdomen hurts drink some water. I found out it helps alot.
  • definitely feel like I'm being stabbed in the lower abdomen when I sneeze.... pretty well lands me on my bottom!!!  Glad I'm not the only one... I was getting nervous!!!

  • i have been getting these sharp pains and i asked my ob about it .  he told me it was the ligaments stretching . 
  • If you will get something to pick our belly up to support it the pain should go away I'm 12 weeks anI have the same problem i
  • It's funny that I saw this right now, because I have been experiencing the same thing. I was lying flat on my back on my bed and laughed, and all of a sudden I felt this horrible sharp pain on my lower abdomen. Whenever my husband tries to feel my tummy, it's also very painful. Good thing I'm not the only one!
