Spotting after sex - 22 weeks

Just wanted to share my experience.

I spotted after sex last night. Just pink when wiping and then brown this morning. Was worried when it happened but as baby was moving around and it seemed to settle, I almost didn’t call the midwife, however, thought I would just to reassure me.

Well, it ended up in me spending most of the day on the ante natal ward. 🙄 As I’m rhesus negative, they wanted me to go in to have an anti D injection. I also had bloods done and a lovely pelvic to take swabs to check for infection.

The reason I wanted to share was because I had googled and so many posts said it’s normal to spot after sex in pregnancy with no mention of the rhesus negative thing. It led me into a false sense of security thinking it was no biggie. It wasn’t in the end but still needed dealing with.

Just wanted to add that this is my third so I’m not a novice but still didn’t know about needing an anti D after any spotting. Obviously knew I needed one at 28 weeks but not on any other occasion.

Thankyou for this - I've never heard a mention of this either.
Hope you're doing well now!

I had this through all 3 of my pregnancies. It was a cervical ectropian.
