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.

Thanks girls, it slowly fading away still pinches when i turn, or take a deap breath :)

Hey Anila, you don't know me and I'm definitely NOT a stalker lol! but I know you've been trying for no. 6 for a while so I was so excited to read that you're UTD hun! Big congrats hun and I wish you a happy, healthy and safe pg!!

PS Ouch for the muscle pain, I did do that once by sneezing and turning to grab something at the same time..not pretty!

Ive an abdominal separation, and I felt ripping over the whole pregnancy :(
And it was really REALLY painful.
