Embarrassing Question About Pregnancy Cramping...
I have some slight pregnancy cramping during and after I make love to my husband. It isn't extremely painful, but I can't help but be scared that we've done something that put our baby in jeopardy. It makes me not want to have sex again until the baby comes...in 5 months. I'm not so sure he'd be too thrilled with the prospect. Is it the sex that is causing my pregnancy cramping, or is it the orgasm?

According to the medical science what doctors mostly brief you is: Some women experience cramps during sex, both during and after orgasm. This occurs because when you're pregnant, blood flow to your pelvic area increases; this, combined with the normal increase of blood flow to your genitals that occurs during sex, can result in cramping and a low backache. If you're worried that having sex might hurt your baby, you might be tensing up during lovemaking -- this can also cause cramping. Talk with your doctor about your fears, and try to relax. If you have a low-risk pregnancy, sex and orgasms won't hurt your baby. Cramps during sex usually go away pretty quickly. If they don't, ask your partner to give you a low back rub to help you relax and ease the cramping.

We have same experience with that, too. When I was pregnant I had cramping that resulted to abstination for almost a year! I had consulted about it to my OB, and she noted as pregnancy goes on , control our intimacy. She had no reason why we should control but she just cited some situation since before I had sub chrionic hemmorage to clear first. I think its our thought that make the cramping,or we are not comofortable doing it. In my case, I am not that comfortable doing it and the thought that it will affect my baby.

This is a question that can only be answered by the doctor you are seeing for this pregnancy. There is a period in the pregnancy when sex should be stopped and from what I have been told, that varies with the woman. This is not a question for a lay person to answer. Your doctor sees you every month and follows your progress. That is the person to whom this question should be addressed. Good luck.
