Sounds pretty positive! Sometimes the inductions don't work so well if bubs is not in a good position. So hopefully you won't have any issues this time around.]]> Sun, 15 Aug 2010 22:08:15 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35260&PID=1127051&title=crampy-tightenings-after-sex#1127051 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35260&PID=1126945&title=crampy-tightenings-after-sex#1126945 Author: fire_engine

Cool, thanks OB MWs! I'll talk with my MW when I see her in a fortnight unless it gets worse. And no, there's no bleeding or anything, just the cramping and tightening.

We've actually been told to increase the frequency after 32 weeks cos of a failed induction last time - that the natural prostaglandin might help us avoid the synthetic stuff next time. So I'm kindof pleased that it's probably the prostaglandin (which is what I suspected) - might have some show of not going well overdue again!]]> Sun, 15 Aug 2010 20:23:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35260&PID=1126945&title=crampy-tightenings-after-sex#1126945 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35260&PID=1126938&title=crampy-tightenings-after-sex#1126938 Author: busymum

It's normal. Even now at 18 wks I get some tightenings afterwards. I guess this is why many ppl say that sex helps to bring things on in late pgcy. But until then, unless you have been bleeding, there is no concern.]]> Sun, 15 Aug 2010 20:15:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35260&PID=1126938&title=crampy-tightenings-after-sex#1126938 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35260&PID=1126931&title=crampy-tightenings-after-sex#1126931 Author: HippyMama

Righto, I'd say it's a reaction to the prostaglandins in his swimmers then But yeah, I'd still run it past your midwife - especially if they were to get really painful (like not just labour painful but 'wrong' painful). ]]> Sun, 15 Aug 2010 20:08:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35260&PID=1126931&title=crampy-tightenings-after-sex#1126931 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35260&PID=1126890&title=crampy-tightenings-after-sex#1126890 Author: amme_eilyk

it sounds normal.

I haven't orgasmed for the last few months either, but have been all good with BDing because of the sperm helping the cervix etc, and I know exactly what you are talking about, but then I'm a little further on. Still, I'd say it's normal

My false labour at 32 weeks started after dp and I had sex. About 10 mins after started getting contractions and they were 8mins, then 5 mins apart lasting about 45 secs. Mw had me come into hosp and monitor it and sure enough I was having contractions that replicated I was in labour but cervix was completely shut and remained that way. I would give mw or back up a call/text if you are concerned or worried... It was one tiring day though! Hope it subsides! ]]> Sun, 15 Aug 2010 18:02:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35260&PID=1126814&title=crampy-tightenings-after-sex#1126814 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35260&PID=1126781&title=crampy-tightenings-after-sex#1126781 Author: fire_engine

If you orgasmed (not just him) I'd say it sounds like a normal reaction to the flood of hormones that usually happens after sex, in combination with all the stuff that is already floating around from the pregnancy - but of course, I could be totally talking out my arse! ]]> Sun, 15 Aug 2010 16:51:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35260&PID=1126775&title=crampy-tightenings-after-sex#1126775 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35260&PID=1126769&title=crampy-tightenings-after-sex#1126769 Author: fire_engine

Grrr, typical that the one time I have a ?n for my MW she's on holiday.

After sex, I get quite crampy and last night (24 hours afterward) had one or two tightenings lasting a minute or so - reminded me of the night before Dan was born. Does anyone else get this? I'm not too worried cos I have a history of a stubborn cervix but am just wondering if we should be more cautious???
