Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for the query.
The possible causes for her pain are:
With the progression of the pregnancy the uterus size will increase and that will lead to stretching of the supportive ligaments.
Uterus will be usually dextro rotated.
Usually minimal pain is normal only and will subside with rest, no need to worry. Taking rest in left lateral position is preferable.
If the pain continues and increases in severity, once consult gynecologist and rule out other possible factors like constipation etc.
Then with her advice your wife can go for natural micronized progesterone tablets that will help in relaxing smooth muscles and can relieve the pain.
Hope I have answered your query. I will be available to answer your follow up queries. If you are satisfied with all my answer, please rate the answer after closing the discussion.
Take care.

Hi,
There may not be much harm to the fetus by sneezing, as:
-Your wife just entered into third month. In this gestational age the uterus will be in the pelvis and just entering into the abdomen.
-As sneezing increases the thoracic pressure mainly, that may not affect the uterus at this gestaional age
