Painful sneezes

[LouisecH]

I just sneezed and it feels like someone hit my ribs with a hammer at the same time. It really hurts to the point of feeling winded. Has anyone else had this?

I havent had painful sneezes, but i have had painful yawns.

its seems my body wants to breathe in more than it can, so my ribs feel the pressure.

not nice!

I know exactly what you mean .. I've also had painful coughs!

I think its just where things are stretching and nothing to worry about

Yep I had painfull sneezes, i think its because you tend to automaticly tense your tummy muscles, and as all your ligiments etc in that area are already strained it just makes them hurt a bit!!

Thanks everyone.
You'll be relieved to know I don't think anything's broken

I've had the painful sneezes and coughs too. What with that and having to cross my legs at the same time!! I had a really bad cold last week - it was terrible!!

No damage done though.

LOL Sunshine!!

Yes - my sneezes have been a bit painful since around 20 weeks I think. They still are! Luckily I don't get hayfever, and (touch wood) haven't had a cold since I was pregnant...!

I think you're right - just the ligaments - everything's so much more sensitive now!
