32 Weeks - Cramping after s*x?

Question

Cramping after s*x, could it be Braxton Hicks Contractions? No bleeding, just period like cramping. I will be 32 weeks tomorrow.

Answer 1

see what happens! If it carries on go to maternity and get checked!

Answer 2

If your contractions/cramping is painful, they are probably not braxton hicks and if they can be timed, you should probably see your doctor.  I was just put on bedrest for preterm labor and one of the instructions they sent me home with was no s*x.  They said that o****m can start preterm labor because it causes uterine contractions.  I have also heard that ejaculate has a hormone/chemical in it that can bring on contractions.  Thats why sometimes when you are past due they say having s*x can speed things along.  No bleeding is good though.

Good luck to you, I hope the info helps a little.

Answer 3

No pain and it's all over your tummy, braxton hicks.  Pain like cramps, maybe you overdid it and bruised your cervix.  Have more gentle s*x until week 40 and then you can go for it.  You still need baby to brew a little longer.  Go to the doctor if you see any signs of bleeding or if you just feel "weird".  He will help relieve your fears and make sure all is well with baby.

Answer 4

Period-like cramping is a sign of labor, if you were just feeling your stomach contract-with no pain I would say Braxton Hicks.

You should call your doctor, some women can't have s*x after a certain point in their pregnancy due to it bringing on pre-term labor....
