Help! Bleeding after sex- 5 weeks

Has anyone experienced this ? Sad

I'm 5 weeks pregnant. Had sex with DP this morning, it was me on top so for me that's quite deep penetrative (sorry TMI). I've looked online a bit and some others have said it's due to changes in cervix? I'm hoping so x

Yes my partner and I experienced this as well. There would be bleeding even when it wasn't deep penetration, presumably for orgasms.

Didn't harm the fetus, so I wouldn't stress unless flow gets heavy and there's painful cramps associated. Good luck

Yes I experienced this at 6 weeks and then again at 7. At my early scan I was diagnosed with a subchronic hematoma. Seems to have cleared up now and don't get the bleeding/spotting any more. Guessing that's what was causing it!

Congrats on your pregnancy Thanks

Thank you for both your responses, very alarming isn't it !!

I've had no cramps and no more blood Smile

I had this in my first pregnancy around 14 weeks. Went away in a couple days

Yup, had this around the same time and it continued until about 12 weeks when I decided we weren't going to have sex any more in pregnancy because it was too stressful for me. 33 weeks on Monday and poor husband can hardly wait for my 6 week check up already!!! Doctor said it was very normal and common but it is very distressing when it's also listed as basically the number 1 miscarriage symptom as well.

Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy!

Yes in the first trimester this happened a couple of times and was scary. I was scanned at epu and baby was fine - they never found a cause for it. I assume it was my cervix bleeding but it looked fine on examination. I'm now 30 weeks and hasn't happened again since about 14 weeks.

Thanks everyone I feel a lot better!

The blood seemed quite a lot and was a dark red (not brown or pink) so was very worried. It hasn't continued and I've had no cramps x
