I am worried about these pains - are they normal?

Hi Alex,
I`m currently 14+2 weeks pregnant with our second baby, and am having fairly strong pains across my abdomen at times - usually when I sneeze or cough. I don`t remember having anything like this when pregnant with my daughter. I had a fairly bad bleed at 12 weeks, saw my ob then and again a week later and all seems fine, he thought I had an inflammed uterus, which caused the bleed and the pain I was having. Haven`t had another bleed, but am worried about these pains - are they normal?
Thanks, Liz.

Alex ...
Answer: Hi Liz,
It might be worthwhile having a check up. You may have a hernia or have pulled some muscles. It may be nothing but it is better to be checked.
Best wishes,
Alex
