Sex question... ladies I need answers!


So a bit embarrassing buuuuut I was wondering if anyone's uterus feels really tight/hard after you have sex and you O?

We had some really hot sex the other day and after I O'd I just lay there and I swear it felt like my uterus was... hard, tight, something? This was my UTERUS I was feeling this in mind you, not my lady bits! And then after that I felt like I could maybe feel the baby flutter.

Anyone else? Is this dangerous- should I stop having sex???

I hear it's normal. An orgasm will make your uterus contract, but it's not dangerous at all. In the long run, it should help it become more stretchy.

Unfortunately I only know this in theory. The sex thing stopped working for me since I got pregnant. My body barely responds anymore.
I'm jealous

I think that is normal. Orgasms cause the uterus to contract a bit. Not an expert but I think its normal as long as you don't have any cramping or bleeding. I have noticed that once or twice a day my uterus is really firm too. ?braxton hicks maybe?

Definitely sounds like Braxton Hicks! I get them after sex too. Also at random times in the day or if I stand up after sitting for a while. It's normal!

Orgasms always cause uterine contractions. Guess now that your uterus is getting bigger, you are beginning to notice it more. It's not bad and I hear that the baby gets a wave of pleasure as well when you orgasm.

It's normal. The baby responds to your increased movement and heart rate. So it would be very understandable that you could feel increased fetal movement after O. Also, the tightening could just be left over muscle tension. Or because your muscles are relaxed you can feel the uterus more easily. Hope this helps.
