help! we just had sex now i'm bleeding i'm worried as I'm 33 weeks

[mistyamica]

My partner and I had sex earlier and now I am bleeding. Its not very heavy but there is a continual flow of blood.

I'm scared and don't know if I should phone a doctor or something?
This has never happened before. I'm 33 weeks and this is my first baby.

Is this normal or should I get medical help?

I would call someone yes.
Sorry not very helpful.

no, bleeding like that is not normal, call labour ward immediately

a bit of spotting fine, but not a flow

call now, get off mumsnet and get medical advice

you should be checked out

yes I would say call your midwife or maternity unit. Sorry haven't got any more advice. Let us know x

When you say a continual flow of blood - like a period or like spotting? Is it red blood or brown.

You can irritate the cervix when you have sex and that can cause bleeding but yes, you do need to get it checked out. Phone the labour ward. Don't worry it happens a lot.

I had a similar problem last pregnancy - sadly they banned sex for the duration but I did manage to get to about 44 weeks before DD was rudely ejected!

I would call the pre natal ward at the hosp to ask advice.I have the same thing happen to me, i went in they did an internal and everything was fine so i was sent home.Went on to have a beautiful baby boy.You really must get it checked out though asap to put your mind at rest.Hope everything goes well.

are you in pain? at thisstage it is best that you call labour ward for advice. on a more positive note though your cervix during pregnancy is very sensitive and has increased blood supply so maybe the sex has caused a laceration there. i know it happened to me but like everyone else says i would get it checked out to be sure. hugs

Hi, my sister had exactly the same problem at 33 weeks, due to having sex. (i escourted her to hospital) It turned out to be nothing they thought it was just cervix errossions but couldn't pin point it but it had full stopped by the next day and she's had no problems since although she doesn't let her other half near her now. She's now 37 weeks. But please do get it checked out because it could be something sinister and you don't want to take any risks.

whomovedmychoc Banned sex!!!!!

it could be an erosion, yes, but any flow of blood, whether red or brown in pregnancy needs checking out and diagnosing

I just went and checked again. Its not flowing now I think it has calmed down. It's just there when I wipe.

Do you think I should still get the midwife? I don't want to waste anyone's time if its stopping?

I'm so confused!

yes, i thikn you should call the MW

a MW on here posted a recent thread about when to call the MW for advice

and bleeding is one of those situations

You aren't wasting their time - it's what they are paid for! Go and call!

Wasn't suggesting the colour of the blood made any difference lulu - but the first questions they ask you when you call is 'what colour blood', how heavy.

Giving them a call won't hurt, just explain to them what you have said on here & see what they say.

no worries, WMMC, not taking issue with what you said at all....

Hoping all is fine misty x

Thing is the whole sex thing could be a red herring as it were. Think of it this way - if you had started bleeding this eveningn whilst you were doing the ironing or on Mnet or whatever - well you wouldn't be so inclined to think it's just one of these things would you? You would get it checked.

I know

Call somebody now.It's better to be safe than sorry and you will only worry all night anyway.x

mistyamica What happened and how are you now?

noticed you haven't been back to this thread - hope everything was ok?
