Braxton Hicks?

[Breeelizabeth]

I can't say I feel tightening, but FOB and I DTD, afterwards I had quite nasty period like pains in my front and back. I checked baby's heart rate and it was around 170, so I decided I'd lay down and relax. The pains have since stopped and HR is normal again, but could this pain have been BH's?
The worst thing about being a first timer is that I don't really understand what is normal and what isn't.
Thanks in advance ladies

Throughout second and third tri, after DTD, I would always get pain like that too with a BH. My belly does tighten though.

Yep I've had these pains too. I got worried the first time it happened and spoke to MW, she said it is normal and caused by the cervix contracting if you orgasm.
Unless of course you are really far along in pregnancy and believe that sex can induce labour!
