I dont think its hair coloring, from what I hear cramping is pretty normal so dont worry or you can call your doc.

It's not the hair dye, it's probably nothing. How far along r u again?

I am almost 21 weeks, will be in 2 days...It feels better sitting down, but when im standing up its like uh my stomach...

You can get braxton hicks, very early on....I wouldn't worry about it


if they get severe, unbearable...Get your a$$ to emerg.

Last night I could not sleep again! This sux...My stomach was hurting,lol I could barely get my shorts on to go downstairs to the restroom...Cuz I like to sleep with no clothes on..And then coming back up the stairs at my bfs last night wasnt fun..I didnt think I was going to make it up...I didnt even wanna move..And laying down was just sooo uncomforatable..Ne one else have this same thing happen to them around 21 weeks..Tom I will be 21 weeks and it just started like 2 days ago.

Are you okay not rae im concerned---

did you call your dr??

No I didnt call my Dr. I was about to tell my bf that I needed to go to the hospital.I was almost crying. I dunno, maybe its cuz I eat right b4 I go to bed....But last night my stomach felt really really tight...But then again I had sex last night and me and hudson thought maybe that was the reason it felt so tight..But I didnt know...

yess, intercourse causes the tightness and could cause more of the cramping--but if you are already having cramping and worried I would refrain for a few days make sure all of this settles down a bit. If not go to the hospital.

Let me know k??

Where abouts is the pain?

Was the tightening only during intercourse, cause when your stomach gets tight its your uterus contracting, but its probably only braxton hicks.

I used to get the same things but they didnt hurt?

Im not having the cramping ne more, then again I didnt have sex last night. I slept really good, better than I have the past few nights.Until I woke up and found my brother and his friends all here and the kitchen was a mess at 5:30 in the morning and I had to clean..I was pissed..But other than that, good sleep last night...The cramping was like my lower half of my stomach.I dunno, maybe its from what I eat for supper or something or sex..I dunno..But I dont know why it started cramping a couple hrs. After I had gottan home from getting my hair done.

Hi-
it sounds like two seperate things to me, the tightening after sex is your uterus contacting a bit- same as braxton hicks- I get that really badly with this pregnancy- with my first, I never did. It can be pretty intense and it can make you feel like you really need to pee imediately, and then you go though all the discomfort of getting dressed, and getting to the loo, only to pass a teaspoon full of pee !!!!!
The pain going up the stair etc is probably round ligament pain, from the lower abdominal muscles supporting your bump. This comes and goes thoughout pregnancy- especially around times where you notice your bump is growing- the muscles have to stretch at your uterus grows.
It's alway worse when you are getting up from sitting or lying down, or moving quickly- the "bounce" factor of plodding up the stairs would definately cause some pain. If it's a quick stabby/dragging kind of pain, then that's definately it. The muscles will "catch up " and it'll go away for a few weeks, only to come back again when you grow again. I've heard a hot water bottle or some thing can help- but i've always found by the time i've boiled the kettle, it's gone- it's a horrible but quick twinge.
Just take it slowly- don't get up too quickly, take the stairs slow- and if you find anything that helps with the after sex crampy feeling- let me know would you? It's ruining what's left of my sex life !!!! We already have an active two and a half year old, and i'm almost 30 weeks gone now- we don't need another obstical in the bedroom !!!!!!

Take care !
