Pains when coughing, sneezing & moving quickly?

[Isabeau]

Whenever I cough or sneeze or move quickly I get a bad pain above my pelvic bone like my insides are trying to tear apart. I have had 2 c-sections & I am almost 12 weeks pregnant. Just wondering if I should be worried & if anyone else experiences this?

Yes, I had that with both my pregnancies. It's a pain, isn't it? I was always on edge everytime I had to cough.

I think it has something to do with how all your ligaments have all soften up.

If you are still worried then it wouldn't hurt if you called your hospital or doctor for some reassurance.

I get that too and was in panic at first as I didnt have it with my first two from what i could remember. I was lucky that there are a few at work that are pregnant too and get the same so I didn't stress so much after that.

I get this too, but only on the right side. This is my third pregnancy and I didn't experience it with my first two either. I've also had two c-sections.

Yes, it happens to me also. Sometimes the pain escalates into a severe cramp (usually on the R side above C/S scar and beyond) that HURTS so much and lasts for 30 secs or so... It freaked me out the first few times, but now I'm used to it.

I think that because I was expecting a pain when I coughed, sneezed, etc I was bracing myself and clenching my stomach muscles... which was making it worse. So try not to tense up, the pains don't hurt as much when I relax, and don't result in a cramp.

Google 'round ligament pain' and it might explain a bit :yes: I get it too.


Round ligament pain refers to a type of pelvic pain caused by stretching of the round ligaments. This occurs more commonly on the right side of the pelvis.
