Tight hips and sides? « Back to Group Discussions

[flatlander]

Today, the muscles around my hips (especially above my hips), on sides of my abdomen, and around my uterus are feeling especially tight and sore. I don't really remember experiencing this with my first until I was well into the second trimester. And it was really memorable near the end of the third trimester.

Is anyone else experiencing this too?

yes! hurts like crazy to sneeze or cough or stand up quickly. it's all the round ligaments. with DD i started feeling it around 12 weeks, but this time it started about 4 weeks. i'm guessing since the muscles have been through the stretching process before they are starting earlier this time.

Yes mamadiamond! I had the pain when sneezing the other day, and when rolling over in bed last night. I totally didn't expect the constant dull ache to be starting quite this soon. But I guess it's a good sign to be having more pregnancy symptoms!
