About this symptom
Sore Muscles
During a regular cycle progesterone levels increase and contribute to many PMS symptoms. When pregnancy occurs, the levels continue to rise, this leads to many women experiencing similar symptoms in early pregnancy that they experience pre-menstrually. Cramps, bloating and sore muscles in the abdomen can all occur in early pregnancy.
Includes: May feel like you did too many sit-ups
