left ovary pain
Posted: 01-07-08 16:09pm

Hello all - I am 10 weeks tomorrow and over the past week or so I have noticed that if I am laying in bed with my legs stretched out and i cough I get an excruciating pain in my left ovary area. The same goes for when I am at work and sitting in my chair - - when I go to stand up the pain is so bad it will bed me over immediately - it only last for a half a second it's almost like a very painful pulling sensation -

Anyone else dealt with this?

that's pretty much exactly what happened to me. Coughing, sneezing, standing up, sitting up. It's your ligaments stretching, getting ready to hold that soon to be watermelon size organ we call a uterus. As long as you have no bleeding, there should be nothing to worry about.

They're terrible aren't they! When I coughed, sneezed, even went to the bathroom. Although at first there disconcerting, there certainly nothing to worry about ; )

I have the best tip though!!! I'm taking pilates for pregnancy and the first thing she taught us was to pull up the muscles in you're pelvic floor - so like your kegel muscles and hold it while you sneeze etc ----> Works like a charm!

Oh good I was starting to worry about this too. It was not really painful just uncomfortable. I've also been crampy here lately almost like I am fixing to start. I called my doctor, who said that as long as it is not excrutiating and there is no heavy bleeding then it should just me my uterus stretching. She said drinking plenty of water would help. My cramps do feel better since I have been drinking more water.

Happy 9 months
