Upper abdominal muscle pain? Anyone?

Question

Anyone else feel like they did super ab (above belly under breasts) work out and now your upper abs just burn and hurt 24/7!!?? I asked my midwife weeks ago when it wasn’t this bad and she said it was normal and stuff is stretching.
It’s freaking getting worse!! Sneezing and laughing hurt so bad and that area almost feels numb to touch cause it hurts so bad! 
Is it just me?!

Answer

Yes it feels like my upper abdomen is sunburnt when it hasn't seen the sun in over a year! I've read and my OB has told me it's muscles and ligaments stretching. Super annoying!!

Answer

I was getting this but more when my belly was really starting to show. It would get so bad the skin and muscles would go numb from the pain. Obgyn said it’s all about how you carry and to try and lay down if it gets bad. Unless it’s consistent on right side only you’re ok.

Answer

I just read that this is most likely your rib cage relaxing and more easily stretching out with baby because of the hormone “relaxin”. It stretches out more easily, but doesn’t mean that stretch isn’t painful. 
Just a thought!

Answer

is it mostly just on one side? like left or right?
