Uterus pain when sneezing?

[countthestars]

This might be a really dumb question. My uterus kills when I sneeze. Like literally doubles me over, kind of feels like I'm being stabbed. Is this normal? Should I ask my doc? It's not every sneeze but most of the time.

I'm 17 weeks if that matters.

I've noticed the same thing when i cough. It goes away after so I just kind of shrugged it off.

Tulips - yes! Thanks so much for the link!

I try to do a kegel anytime I sneeze or cough and it seems to help with the pain and any possible leakage. As long as the pain doesn't persist it sounds normal.

This happens to me, too. I've found that bending over at the waist during the sneeze helps.

I get this sometimes too with a cough or sneeze, seems worse when I'm lying in bed.

I have this too, especially if I'm laying flat. If i'm crouched over it doesn't hurt as much. My OB said this was normal.

I am so glad I just saw this! I just sneezed a little bit ago and though my uterus was ripping in 100 pieces for a few seconds.

I've had it too. Also when I laugh too hard. Things that use your stomach muscles a lot seem to bring it on.

This happens to me as well. It helps if I grab my belly to support it.

It is totally normal!
