Cramping during intercourse

Anyone else get really bad cramps during sex? I keep forgetting to ask my OB about it. It's like period cramps. No bleeding. But I feel terrible about it. My poor DH is worried he's hurting me and we just can't enjoy it...sorry if this is tmi.

Re: Cramping during intercourse

  • Yes, It's normal. It's your uterus cramping.

  • This is totally normal part of pregnancy.  A quick google search will show that the prostaglandins in your husband's semen along with any orgasms will cause the uterus to contract.  This will not hurt the baby.  So enjoy away!

  • I had the same thing last pregnancy. It lasted for a couple weeks and then went away. So hopefully it won't last long.

  • I used to have painful cramping during orgasms until about 12 weeks, then they miraculously went away.

  • It's not that I'm worried about the baby. I'm just worried about our relationship. Because of the cramping sex isn't enjoyable at all. 
  • @alm52386 and @jesselayne8 I am in the same boat as you guys! My husband is going a little crazy but he is also being a good sport. My doctor even said she felt bad for him!

  • I haven't had cramping as much as I've had pain/pressure that makes it super uncomfortable during intercourse. I feel badly because I keep trying to avoid doing the deed :-( 
  • I don't have cramping, but my boobs still hurt like hell!! It puts a damper on things and hurts during sex. 
  • Just want to say... I totally misread this thread title and thought it said "Camping during intercourse".  All I could think was "Damn... I don't even want to have sex in the comfort of my home let alone on a pile of leaves out in the woods somewhere.  Smores are good though.  Better than sex even".

    OK now that my inability to read is off my chest, I would say... yes.  Cramping is not uncommon during sex when one is pregnant.  
  • Sex? What's that?
    Dude. I was going to say the same thing. 

    I had zero desire with DD1. DH was such a good sport. 

    It's completely off the table currently. Poor DH isn't handling it as well as he did 7 years ago.
