I read some where that orgasms can make the uterus spasm or something causing it to feel like contractions. Something along the lines of that, but I'd check with your doctor to be safe, everyone's different. I know sex can also help with starting labor.

Super normal. I use to get contractions after having sex all the time it was so painful. But sex is very healthy jn pregnancy. Semen also softens the cervix so that when Labour comes contraction will be less painful.
