uterine contractions during pregnancy

You should be okay to masturbate and have sex all the way up until your water breaks, unless your doctor tells you otherwise. Yes, orgasms do cause uterine contractions, but unless your body and baby are ready they won't be strong enough to start labor.

Orgasms do cause uterine contractions. If it continues or gets stronger it you start bleeding a lot, you should call your doctor or L&D. Otherwise some stomach cramping is normal. Evena little bleeding (spotting) is normal.

Could be uterine contractions. Oxytocin (the hormone that makes you orgasm) is responsible for contractions when you go into labor. Practice contractions post orgasm are totally normal although not always comfortable! Drink some water and lay down for a while to relax them away.

Some women get them later in pregnancy and some women never get them during pregnancy. I got them around 33 weeks. They are random and sometimes I would have to stop and catch my breath.

It's not pregnancy that will cause rupture it's the intense contractions during labour that is the issue. If course talk to your doctor but he/she will most likely be recommending a C section with this pregnancy to avoid possible rupture during a vaginal birth. Good luck.

Hi alid32, sometimes your uterine contractions doesn't start in a pattern even if you are in labour..it's only when you are in active labour your contractions become stronger and starts to appear frequently.. I am a first time mum so every signs of pregnancy seems so strange..I too think that my contractions are just Braxton hicks..:( coz they appear seldomly..!!

Contractions in the absence of other symptoms are not an early sign of pregnancy in anyone. (I assume that if your stomach had been growing noticeably and didn't stop, or you were having morning sickness or sore breasts or feeling kicks, you would have mentioned it here.) In pregnancy, all those things and lots more happen months and months before contractions. Does this (the contractions) also happen when you have an orgasm? That's actually pretty common.

Hello to all. I am brand new here. I've posted a couple of times but cannot find the thread(s). I'm still becoming familiar with the way this site works so forgive me repeating myself. :) Nine days ago I had my Mirena removed. It was at the end of my cycle that had started five days earlier.

I am week 36 and experiencing Braxton hix contractions already. Is there anything I can do to help slow them down or help with the the pain?

The scar on the uterus can cause a weakness in the uterine wall and the stretching that occurs during pregnancy or the strong contractions of labour can cause the scar to become thin or begin to separate. In practice this happens in only 0.5–2% of women. This is known as ‘scar dehiscence’ and it doesn’t usually cause any problem. However, if the uterine scar tears open, causing bleeding and other complications, it is called ‘uterine rupture’ and is a serious risk to both mother and baby.

During the reproductive years, the pituitary gland in the brain generates hormones (follicle-stimulating hormone [FSH] and luteinizing hormone [LH]) that cause a new egg to mature and be released from its ovarian follicle each month. As the follicle develops, it produces the sex hormones estrogen and progesterone, which thicken the lining of the uterus called the endometrium.

That's also why they say do not use laxatives during pregnancy. Same concept as castor oil to uterine contractions but doesn't get everything else going.

Some women do menstrate during pregnancy but it isnt very common at all. Usually you stop the whole 9 months and bleed again until after labor.

One of my friends experienced no bleeding during her pregnancy, and another had period-like bleeding for 3 mos. into her pregnancy. It's a case by case basis really.
