Stomach muscle spasms during and after sex

Since having my DD 9 months ago I’ve experienced stomach spasms during and after sex - linked to orgasm. Happens every time so I no longer want to do it. Seems to actually be getting worse not better. I saw a pelvic floor specialist about 3 months PP before starting sex again and she said everything was great. Anyone experienced this postpartum and have any advice? Never happened before.

Yes I know a GP would help and I will but if there’s anything I can or should be doing myself then I will! Had enough prodding and poking down there for a while.

I had something similar. I think the oxytocin release of orgasm makes the uterus contract and some people notice it more than others. I can't remember how long it lasted but it did stop at some point, probably once my uterus had completely shrunk.
I also had a lot of painful Braxton Hicks while pregnant. Don't know if that resonates at all.
