I'm 6weeks along I was wondering after DTD with my partner I went to the toilet and wiped and seen a little bit of pinkish blood iv been again and again and it seems to be going away ..does your cervix become more fragile when pregnant? Should I be worried

It can be normal for some women to have a little bit of bleeding after sex due to changes in the cervix and blood vessels. If you're worried or have heavier bleeding, speak to your midwife or doctor.

Here is a link with more information.

I had a massive (and I mean HUGE) bleed after having sex at 5 weeks pregnant. I had a scan a few days later after they did blood tests to check my levels and there was nothing to say where the blood came from so they suspected as @NeedCoffeeToSurvive says, it was just my cervix - it does become more sensitive with changes. Made me nervous all the way through pregnancy but I now have a very healthy baby tearing up my living room as I type this!

Thank you ! I bet it was scary I didn't even have a massive bleed just a little bit when I wiped I'm pretty sure I'm just sensitive down there at the moment so not worried one bit it's gone today

It's most likely the implantation bleed.

This happened to me too, at 7 weeks. I had bleeding for almost two days. not heavy, but noticeable, and my cervix was sore/bruised. It went away and I have been totally fine! You will be too. Try not to worry and just lay down if you can.

This happened to me this morning, I had an early scan yesterday and measured 7 weeks. But bled after having sex this morning, it’s so scary!! After lots of reading I think it can happen and this post has made me feel so much better. After a few very upset hours I’m feeling better now. Hope you’re ok! Xx
