Is masturbation safe?

Hi All, I'm currently about 22weeks and my husband is not comfortable with having sex with me as he is afraid of being too rough. So we turned to masturbation. I'm ok with that but my problem is after i orgasam, i feel a tight cramp at my tummy for awhile. Which makes me feel like i shouldn't be doing it as it seems to be affecting my tummy. Unsure if it's affecting the baby (i hope not) I'm shy to ask my gyne about this. Is anyone experiencing the same thing?

Braxton hicks. Usually starts at 2nd to 3rd trimester. Anytime, anyday. Will not affect baby but it's an uncomfortable feeling. Can happen during intimate moments too. Normally will come and go a few secs. Totally normal. Not sure about masturbation though.
