Pulled Ab muscle?

Ok, has anyone had it where they feel like they have pulled one of their ab muscles while they are pregnant? I felt super tight and stretched yesterday, and when I woke up this morning I was definitely bigger, but I have a sharp pain that feels like a pulled muscle right next to my belly button. Super painful, but Dr's office just said to take tylenol and see what happens in the next few days.

I didn't realize how much I used that muscle EVERY.TIME. I. MOVE. Argh, so frustrating. Any advice how to relieve the pain, without meds? Sad

I had a similar pain, but it was on my left side. Seriously couldn't move for a day - it sucked - but the next day, it was much better. As far as pain relief, it's tough since you can't use a heat pack or anything like that. I just took it easy and spent most of the day sitting very still - fortunately, it was a weekend and DH was around. A warm bath might help as well.

Hope you feel better soon!

Yup...I felt a lot of those pinching burning muscle pains throughout.  Later in pregnancy when I swore there is was no way I could get any bigger...and then did...my belly felt a little sore all over too.
