I had my 3rd IUI yesterday also and I ended up bloated with cramps all three times. I seem to be bloated today also, but no cramps. So to answer your question I would say that yes it is very common and normal to have bloating/cramps/pressure after an IUI.
Completely normal! My first IUI I was so bloated I looked like I had a balloon in my shirt for about 2 days. It will go down just relax and try not to do to much activity.
