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.
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!

@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 :-(
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.

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.
