sex and hard tummy

I'm now 17 weeks pregnant and I've noticed that after sex I get hard contractions.
They're not painful, but the ligaments do start to complain..

I don't remember having this with my son.
Does anyone have experience with this?

    Here with the first one too, no issues, and with the 2nd and 3rd yes. Now it's like this: I do get painful contractions after sex, which wake me up every night, and I still notice it the next day.

    I can relate to that too. During an orgasm, all the muscles contract, including in my belly. Luckily, it doesn’t hurt for me. It seems to be a normal thing and quite common. It’s all about how you feel about it personally.

    Yeah, I’ve had it too, actually quite early in the pregnancy, especially after an orgasm. Usually it goes away after about an hour or so. Just take it easy afterwards.

    I also got contractions like that and ended up giving birth. By the way, it went smoothly with both my girls. I suddenly got cramps, then the contractions started, and right after that, the birth began. I think the birth started because we had intercourse.
