Was it a contraction or what happened?

Question

I'm 31 weeks 6 days and last night sex was rather painful.  I finally got adjusted to where I wasn't hurting as much and enjoyed the end.  But afterwards, there was a huge pain and my tummy and abdomen was all hard and tight. This lasted for about 10 minutes and then it went away and I got up and took a shower.  Have you ever had something like this?  Know what it is?

when you have sex, it can cause contractions. there is a chemical in semen that makes some women have contractions after sex.
it happened to me all the time with my first one. just walk it out. if the contractions don't stop after an hour or so, then you need to go to the doctor. thats what i was always told anyway.

Orgasm causes the uterus to contract and flex and can actually feel like a contraction. 

It happens to me all the time and lasts 10-15 minutes. It is kinda like what a braxton hicks will feel like.  :)

That happened to me when I was 35 weeks with my daughter Madison. I had a doctors appointment the next day I found out that I was in labor. They stopped my labor. But when you have sex it can cause you to have contraction for a while. If you get more pain you should go to your doctors.

Yes its a contraction but nothing to worry about if it went away. It is very common for sex  to cause contractions. It is normal. Good luck.
