Uterine growth: As the pregnant uterus grows, the ligaments that support the uterus get "stretched" which not only changes the abdominal outline but also the internal shift of "balance". Yes, there will be even more abdominal pressure as the pregnancy grows. Experiment with positional changes during sex to find the most comfortable one, and decease the heavy lifting which will help avoid the cramping.
