spotting after "love"

[poppysweetie]

Hiya, I am new to this forum, am 22 weeks and due in June. I decided to "treat" my husband today, but have had a tiny amount of spotting afterwards. This has happened to me pre-pregnancy before, and to be fair, we havent actually done the deed for 4 months! Should I be worried or just accept it as one of those things that has happened? It was a tiny tiny amount?

Hi there, for the first 3 months, post "treat" I would get a bit of spotting (tiny bit), but now I don't (am 24 weeks). My Dummy's Guide to Pregnancy (my one non-Mumsnet source of information) says "If you notice some bleeding, let your practitioner know. If the bleeding is a small amount and not associated with a lot of abdominal cramping, it isn't an emergency." Then says that, basically, your practitioner can't do a lot about it, but may want to examin/scan you. Also, my midwife said that if I get any bleeding from my "fun bits" to let her know. So... sounds like not an emergency, but perhaps best to call your doctor tomorrow. Hope this helps!

Hi, just wanted to say i had the same thing at around 14 weeks, did get checked out and all ok, we just decided to be a little more 'gentle' next time and all has been fine since.

Good luck x

Yep check with your MW or GP. Happened to me after sex and it as all fine. Please tell me though that your MW didn't use the phrase 'funbits'

defo get it checked out as it can (rarely) be an indicator of something more serious.

(and please bin those terrible euphemisms -it's no wonder the british are hung up about sex )

oh, but re-reading your post, if it's not happening any more, then don't worry about it. as long as it's not happening now, then don't bother with the gp or midwife or whatever
