    Question did i rip my tummy muscles?

    ok, i feel like a bit of a silly billy asking this but im 5 w 5d today baby #6, pregnancy #8and im also overweight by alot, anyway i moved and sneezed and i felt a rip in my tummy up high on my left hand side, do u think it was my tummy muscles?

    It only hurts when i move and only in that one spot feels like a bad pinching ripping feeling.

    the only thing i can think of is tummy muscles cause it feels like its under the skin iykwim?

    Sounds like it might be a strain, prob not ripped but if it's painful go get it checked hun!

    It's possible you could pull a muscle. I remember my dad sneezed in an awkward position trying to get his hanky out his pocket and he pulled a muscle near his ribs LOL. Those sneezes can be pretty powerful!

    Hope it feels better soon *hug*

    I am 14 weeks and since 4 weeks, whenever I sneeze, I feel like I have ripped my gut open...so probably not a tear, but maybe a strain, as mentioned above.

    I think if you tore your stomach muscle you would be in a hell of alot of pain. I think you have just pulled a muscle. I did that once doing a cartwheel when i was 14 i could barely move for a few weeks.
