Bleeding after sex (TMI)

[chocolate26]

I'm 34 weeks pregnant and haven't really felt like having sex with DH whilst pregnant but thismorning we did have sex for the first time in 10 weeks! (Lucky him) 😃

After we finished I wiped and noticed blood on the tissue, there was also a bit of blood on him. I didn't think anything of it but I'm still getting blood now when I wipe, we had sex at 8.30am. It's light pink in colour and not heavy.

I haven't had any bleeding throughout my pregnancy and my placenta is high and not covering my cervix. I had a scan yesterday due to a couple of blood test results and everything looked great.

Should I be worried? Should I call triage and let them know? Or just monitor it at home?

If you are concerned please call them. They are there for that reason.

Hi OP

I had this with my first pregnancy, got checked, I wasn't worried tbh as I could feel my baby still kicking.
But I did get checked, everything was ok, I had to tell them what I was doing before the bleeding!

It was only a small amount of blood and quite light in colour too.

Everything was ok I remember being around 35 weeks.
But if your concerned I would get checked, I think they would recommend you getting checked.

Keep safe & all the very best.

Get checked. I had this around 22 weeks and because I’m Rhesus negative, I had to go into to hospital to have an anti-D injection.

Even if you’re not rhesus negative, they may want to just check you out.

From what I understand it's most likely that your cervix is just sensitive and has been irritated buy sex. Give your midwife or the labour ward a ring for reassurance but I would expect they'll say if it's just a small amount and not increasing then you're fine.

Thanks everyone, I gave maternity triage a call and they said it doesn't sound like anything to worry about but to keep an eye on it and if it's still happening tomorrow morning or I get pains then to call them back 😊
