Pulled Muscle?

Question

So yesterday I bent down to plug in a vacuum and I kind of had to force it. I felt a sharp pain in the middle of my stomach and now I'm just sore. Has anyone done this too? I keep getting worried that I may have strained too much. I feel fine, no blood, no pains in my abdomen just my stomach area.

Answer

It’s very possible. Remember that because of the hormones everything is a lot more relaxed 
I have a disc in my back that bulges during pregnancy (found out in my first pregnancy and it’s popped twice in this one before 18weeks !!) because the ligaments and muscles supporting my spine are more relaxed. 
There’s also a lot of times we bend or twist without engaging our core and that can mean it’s easier to hurt yourself. 
Physio has helped me TONNES - I go to one regularly and I also have a maternity support belt that she’s given me (AMAZING - Oppo brand maternity support brace) that has bones like a corset for support in the back and also tensioning straps so I can tighten it when I need more support like bending or housework. Helps a lot
