Yep, totally normal. Lots of women cramp, and sometimes even bleed, after sex during pregnancy.

Yup I cramp after sex too. I also have been cramping a ton since yesterday's lady exam. Eesh. I also had some bleeding from it.

Yeah I cramp after sex and after peeing from a full bladder. I never experienced either with the first one but every time now- it's pretty lame.

[Rosie85]

I hate the cramping. Every time it gets bad I keep going to the bathroom to check for blood because I am so paranoid. My cramps right now are pretty bad and mostly in my back. I'm thinking it's because my uterus is tilted back farther than most women and it had a lot more work to pull forward.

Okay, thank you! It was never like that with the first two (except later on sometimes). It made me nervous.

this thread goes so fast, lol.

oncue, can't wait to hear next week about your results!

i'm scared that i'll go into labor too fast with my third. DS2 came fairly quickly and I did get to use the tub to help relieve the contraction pain. i was so nervous when it all started...my water broke, i panicked and drove myself to the hospital with DS1, didn't want to risk a home birth by myself.

rosie, my house is in a state of perpetual mess. sometimes i manage to pick up the toys but the boys...sheesh, they just mess it up again in mere minutes, especially when they play "garbage men and truck". i don't bother wasting my breath too much telling them to put their toys away either. usually DH comes home and being a neat freak, puts everything away, lol.

how is everyone's appetite lately? at 14 weeks, it's getting better. less nausea but a lot of things still smells bad to me. on my good list right now are plums and popsicles. can't have too much carbs or starch..makes me feel almost ill sometimes.

Lately our place looks like a bomb went off in it. It's too hard to keep on top of at the moment. I just let the kids make as much mess as they need to. I feel bad as I have been sick, so we don't get out and about as much during the week and they need to expend their energy somehow. We rent as well at the moment and DHs work means we move around, so we are in a 2-bedroom apartment. There isn't much space, so not sure what we will do when this bub arrives.
My appetite is pretty average at the moment. I do need to eat often to stay on top of the morning/all day sickness. My fave thing at the moment are cold nectarines.

I was sick but got out of it right around 12 weeks- now I'm hungry all of the time and after not putting on any weight for quite awhile have put on nearly 10 lbs very quickly. Needless to say I'm trying to slow down and keep up on exercise.

It is so good to see so many new people on this thread! I have been away for awhile, my gender desire has been so strong, I just needed to stay off of the site for a little bit, it looks like I have missed a lot!!

I have my 20 week scan on Monday and it is driving me crazy right now. I had a super strict sway for 5 months, was even on Clomid (I needed it to get pregnant) and the ultrasound tech guessed boy at my 12 week scan and most on here guessed maybe boy too when I posted the nub shots. I have been pretty down about it and am trying my best to accept it will be a boy on Monday. When I asked my doctor about it (which we know personally), he said it was just way too early, but I feel like if the tech guessed it might be a boy and the nubs looked somewhat boyish, it's a pretty slim shot it will go the other way. Anyone else feeling the same? This will be baby #2 for us, we really only wanted to have 2 since we both work, but I guess 3 isn't completely out of the question.

On another note, anyone getting some good baby bumps? I lost so much weight on LE I was able to wear my regular clothes up until a couple of weeks ago, since then my bump feels like its been doubling everyday, lol. I went from 2-3 weeks ago looking like I had a little bump to whoa, I am preggo and feeling this baby move!

[lala22]

b'smommy- fingers crossed for you. I for sure have a baby bump and can't button my pants without it hurting- I have some friends who say I don't even look pregnant but on a slim frame this belly looks pretty obvious to me.
