Spotting after sex, should I be concerned?

[madgiebean]

I'm about 7 weeks pregnant and just after my OH and I were 'intimate' I noticed some spotting, it looked like I'd dabbed a tiny cut with some toilet paper when I wiped (sorry tmi) then nothing.. No cramps besides the usual ones I get and it disappeared straight away, surprised I actually noticed.

Am I right in thinking this is nothing to be concerned about?

I bleed quite heavily after sex when I was about 10 weeks pregnant, I'd had a previous miscarriage so freaked out and ended up at the out of hours doctors, he was lovely and said it was perfectly normal as the cervix is so sensitive during pregnancy. DS is 3 weeks old and currently asleep on my chest so in my experience a bit of spotting is normal but if your concerned then get checked out.

I had this and had to go in for a scan at 6 weeks, all was fine but they told me 2 have pelvic rest for 2 weeks which meant no sex.
You should speak to the early pregnancy unit at your hospital, it's more than likely fine but any type of bleeding should be checked and they might give you an internal scan like I had if your worried.

Thank you very much. Ive called epau and they didn't sound too concerned but told me to go in tomorrow and they said they would arrange a scan. Feeling slightly worried now but fingers crossed all will be ok

I'm nearly 30 weeks and I've bled everytime after sex. Sometimes heavy and sometimes just a wipe. It's very common but if your worried speak with your midwife xxx

Don't worry about it, my sister bled red blood like period through her pregnancy too. I've had spotting twice now as I say and both scans were fine.

Thank you hopefully it's nothing! Bit worried because I've had cramps but I know if there was no bleeding I wouldnt think into them. Midwife didn't seem concerned unless I had cramps that required painkillers or anything so I'm probably fussing over nothing. I'm getting checked out to be on the safe side though

I've been having cramps from 6 weeks and still to this day at 10 weeks. It's worrying isn't it but I think we over think things, especially since there was spotting. Let us know how you get on, fingers crossed for you but I'm sure it's all perfect.

Thank you MummyPiggy, I overthink everything but I've never had bleeding before so my mind is on overdrive at the minute. Praying all will be ok, fingers crossed!

I had cramps so constantly from about 5-9 weeks that I panicked when they stopped! I think if they are very mild and don't get any worse at your stage then they are normal, just a sign of the bean snuggling in really tightly.

I had spotting each time we had sex, and it was due to problems with my cervix. All fine and am now 34+5, just have had to avoid sex since I was 8 weeks.

The midwife explained that there is a lot a blood going to that area of your body and it is more sensitive which is why bleeding after sex can be quite common in pregnancy.

Good Luck tomorrow at the scan :)

Meant 35+4

Happened to me at 6 weeks and all was fine. :) Try not to worry too much.
