Common causes of harmless abdominal discomfort during pregnancy

Not all abdominal discomfort is a sign of a serious problem during pregnancy. For example, you may notice a bit of cramping during or right after an orgasm. As long as it's mild and short-lived, it's perfectly normal and nothing to be alarmed about.

Here are some other causes of ordinary abdominal discomfort. But remember, if you're unsure what's going on or your discomfort is severe or persistent, play it safe and call your caregiver.
