It sounds like your having a braxton hick afterward. I was having them when I coughed before.

I'm not that far along but I sneeze a lot and also have stuffy nose constantly. I am six weeks amd my right side has been hurting for a day I hope its not serious but I hope your ok too. I don't know if that is even advice cause I prob know less about pregnancy than you. Congrats on 19 weeks. Maybe you should call doc office and talk to someone. Don't wait. Good luck!

Round ligament pain. I get it even if I hold my belly.

ammasmama · May 2011

@bumpgirl
@angie87 yours sounds like round ligament being stretched.

marie0907 · May 2011

It sounds to me like round ligament pain. if that'd what it is, its completely normal. This happens to me every so often, also after sneezing. My pregnancy book says its common. Just the ligaments around your uterus stretching and growing.

angie87 · May 2011

Yeah that's what my doctor said @ammasmama

OctMommy · May 2011

I used to hold my sneezes in a little and I would get sharp pains....now I just let them out full force! That has helped me.

Its the wonderful rou d ligament pain, it happens to me all the time. I have c-section scars and I know it feels like its the scar. So asked the doc and she said its normal, just to round my back and "shorten" my tummy so it doesn't make them stretch so much during the sneeze. It helps, but it still hurts. No fun w/ my allergies flaring up! Hope it helps you some.

When you think your going to sneeze or cough kinda bend over. I do that and i never get pain,

Mybabe · May 2011

What is round ligament pain???

babymama30 · May 2011

It's normal! It happens because your muscles are stretching so it makes it sore when you sneeze or cough.

ammasmama · May 2011

@Mybabe round liganment pain is the streching of the ligaments that run down the sides of your belly. If you have it it feels like a sharp stabbing pain, mostly from movement, and things such as sneezing and coughing.

bumpgirl · May 2011

Thank you. I sneeze like twenty times in shower its bizarre. But I always bend over. I'm glad its normal cause it does just feel like something is stretched and a bit sore. Thanks so much again I'm new to this application

Its the ligaments ladies!

jellybelly1015 · May 2011

@lilbun915 I have the same thing and that is what dr told me! I was getting them throwing up and now sneezing and coughing.

caroline8_p · May 2011

Its normal! I sneeze every single day since being ptegnany (also normal) and allergies don't help. But for a few months when I would sneeze, it felt like my ovaries were being pulled.. I would just apply pressure and 'massage' aftereard.
