Stomach pain when sneezing

I feel you! 😭 That sharp pain is no joke. Very common in 2nd and 3rd trimester. Why it happens: Your round ligaments are stretching to support your growing uterus. When you sneeze, the sudden movement pulls on those ligaments, sharp pain on one or both sides of lower belly. How to relieve/prevent: Before sneezing (if you feel it coming): Bend your knees slightly and lean forward a bit Support your belly with both hands (apply gentle pressure) Or quickly turn to your side if lying down Post sneezing: Apply warm compress to the painful area Gentle stretches (cat-cow pose on hands and knees) Rest and change position slowly Long-term prevention: Wear a belly support band when active Avoid sudden twisting movements
