Got this sudden sharp pull on the side of my belly when i turned in bed last night, second trimester now. It scared me a bit but it went away after some time. Why does this happen, did anyone else get these?
Weak core and posture changes caused mine. With my doctors okay I did gentle prenatal stretches and it eased the pulls a lot. Dont start anything without your gynac clearing it though.
Its mostly the growing belly shifting your posture and the ligaments stretching, plus the extra weight. Round ligament pain is super common. Gentle stretching and not getting up suddenly helps, but sharp pain should be mentioned to the gynac.
Hormones loosen your joints and the weight pulls on muscles, thats why. I got those sudden side pulls when turning in bed. Move slowly and support your belly with a pillow at night.
