Hi, This is going to sound a bit silly and I feel stupid for asking really, but wanted to know if it has happened to anyone else. I am 20 weeks pregnant and after having an orgasm following intercourse with my husband, my stomach goes rock (and I mean ROCK) hard. Its really strange. I can feel the pulse. Weird huh? x

Spike - 98 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) its just your uterous contracting, its perfectly normal, but it can feel a bit weird, its not unusual to get thease braxton hicks contrations for about an hour or too after sex.

moms the word - 98 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Braxton Hicks contractions. They are totally normal. It happens to me to. You'll be just fine.

Allioop - 98 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Actually that is your uterus contracting. Every time you have an orgasm your uterus contracts---it just feels different because your uterus is so much larger now! I've had the same thing happen to me and it is nothing to worry about. It will not cause preterm labor or anything like that. Don't worry!

danahlovesdoug - 98 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) LOL, Not silly. I still think its very strange when it happens to me too. What that is is a Braxton Hicks contraction. Nothing to worry about. Getting aroused or having an orgasim can cause them.

Mrs Mommy - 98 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I know when you orgasim your uterus contracts, which can lead to labor later on. Just make sure you don't bleed and if you don't feel the babe move after sex, its b.c sex rocks the baby to sleep.

harpchick - 98 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Weird, yes, and completely normal! That's why so often high-risk pregnancies are told to abstain from sex (can you hear the bitterness here? It's been five weeks and my eyes are bugging out from deprivation....ugh)

RobinG - 98 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) :) Yup well said ~ it was a contraction :) Thats why sex when you are due is good, esp nipple stimulation and the O to help bring contractions on :)

Mindieswan - 98 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) That is because when you have the big "O" your uterus contracts. It's normal
