Pain after sex

I've been geting really bad cramps after I orgasm, Is this normal or can it hurt the baby??? It only lasts for about a minute or so and there's no bleeding. I'm not sure what it is...just makes me worried.

I have been having the same thing happen to me after orgasms.  It is nothing to worry about though.  I just have to lay there really still for any extra minute or two.  Don't let it stop you having sex.  Better get it out of your system now.  When the baby gets here, those trips to the bedroom seem to get a a little more few and far between for a while :(  I know I am more into it now than I have been and am taking advantage of it!!!

Thanks guys..I'm only seven weeks and was trying to get in as much sex as possible LOL before it got super uncomfortable and I was huge...I was just a little shocked when I started getting the pain, because I actually really enjoy sex still, now I'm like should I go all the way or not....LOL...what we go through huh?

As everyone has said, this is perfectly normal.  I actually pretty much hate sex when I'm pregnant...Only do it for hb, but that is one of the reasons why.  I'm just so uncomfortable and I also get a lot of yeast infections when I'm pregnant which of course, sex doesn't help.  Anyway, try not to worry.  It is normal and you will probably start feeling this more and more.

Its your uterus contracting,perfectly normal....
One word, orgasms.

A. Many answers to that one! Orgasms can be much different during pregnancy. Some woman will finally become orgasmic during pregnancy due to the increased fluids in the area making the clitoris and vagina more sensitive. Other women will become multi-orgasmic for the first time.

In general, orgasms are very good for you and baby! When you have an orgasm the baby is unaware of what you are doing, but does experience the euphoric hormone rush that you will experience. There will also be minor contractions of the uterus, as there have always been, but now that the uterus is bigger you can feel them more. This is not preterm labor, unless you have this cramping sensation or contractions for more than one hour.

The big problem with orgasms during pregnancy is that, particularly at the end, you many not get quite the sense of relief that a normal orgasm would provide. I've personally walked away from sex feeling more sexually frustrated than before, despite multiple orgasms. Although, it's still worth it!
