Cramps when I do kegels??

Em

I'm 17wks today! I've done my best to religiously do my kegels throughout this pregnancy. (I have gotten a little lazy and not done them as often as I've aimed to some days/weeks, but I figure it's the overall effort that counts and I've already noticed a difference!)

For the first time today I got hit by some cramping when I let the muscle go at the end of each exercise. It wasn't exceptionally painful and it reminded me a little of the cramps I've gotten after sex. Has anyone else had this happen? Is it more or less likely to be a fluke? (I've been having some abdominal aches and pains recently and every little thing seems to bother me more than it should. 🙄 I'm working hard to regain the mental/emotional upper hand... but, it is what it is for now!)
