i am 17 weeks pregnant and i have noticed that right after sex my uterus gets really tight, it contracts but it doesnt hurt, it almost feels like the baby is pushing outward. i dont remember this happening, at least not so early in my last pregnancy, is it normal? does anyone know why this happens?

I am 33 weeks along, and I get the same thing. This is my third, so I thought I was pretty much going to sail through this pregnancy since I had so much experience. So far, I have been way wrong!! I've called my doc more times with this one than with my first and second combined!! His explanation for the cramping is that it is normal...you just feel it more intensely and more early on than with previous pregnancies because (let's face it) our muscle tone isn't what it was before our first pregnancy! Just make sure you aren't having any bleeding or pain in your lower abdomen/pelvic area. Hang in there--they get more intense as the weeks go by! Congratulations on the baby!

It is very normal - your muscles did it before - they just weren't so stretched out, so you didn't notice it as much/if at all before.
After a "fun" night with my husband my whole stomach (uterus) goes into a huge knot, and it can be painful. My doctor said that as long as there's no bleeding, it's fine - and the contraction of the uterine muscles does not affect the baby.

i'm getting all of it the time after sex also, iknow its known in trouble-free terms reason my medical professional has checked me and informed me each and everything grow to be effective, and after sex it known for you uterus to tighten up quite, now in case you get soreness that extreme that an finished diverse case, yet its sound like the norm.

It`s normal..When you have an orgasm it cause`s your uterus to contract... That`s why the doctors tell you to try having sex when your close to or past your due date....But don`t worry , it`s not strong enough now to start your labor!! Congrats!!
