Sore stomach muscles?

Question

I’m 12 weeks today and for a few days my stomach had been sore higher up like where my abs are. Feels like I did an ab workout the day before. Has anyone else had this happen and why does it happen?

Answer

Totally normal. Your abdomen is stretching. You’ll sometimes get a sharp pain when you cough or sneeze. Also normal, those are round ligament pain. The pain in your abdomen should be a dull ache. The minute there is severe pain that last longer than a minute, contact your doctor. Otherwise, it’s the woes of pregnancy!
