Tight Muscles - Dr Appt Update

HopefulMom2Be

I am 5 weeks 4 days. When I sneeze or cough the muscles in my lower abdomin pull like they're tight. It feels like it does after working out the abs. I dont recall having this with my first.
Anyone else experience this?

I had those same pains with thos pregnancy which is my second. The only thing I can tell you is when you are going to sneeze or cough grab your stomach for support

Sounds like ligament pains. I get them from sneezing or coughing even when in NOT pregnant. They really can be painful.

Had an ultrasound today. Everything looks good so far. Got to hear the heartbeat too. :-D
The tech was telling me she could tell which ovary I ovulated from because mu left ovary had corpus luteum. This is leftover from the egg and produces progesterone unil the placenta takes over (from what Ive read). She told me this can cause pain when you stand up, cough, sneeze, etc. She said it can be very painful. I told her I knew because it has taken my breath away a few times. So this answers that question.
Hopefully since it goes away, that pain will follow.
