Spotting after intercourse?!?!

Question

New mom here I'm 7 weeks pregnant and I had intercourse this morning and I was fine a couple of hours later we messed around again and when I went to the bathroom and there was a little pink in the discharge so I wiped again to check if I was just seeing things, and that time it was a bright red little blood clot. A few hours later I went to the bathroom again and its back to being very light pink.

Did I just irritate myself or is this something I should worry about????

Answer

It's normal to spot after sex. Progesterone makes our cervix really sensitive when pregnant so constant contact can irritate it. I've always spotted after sex. & last night, at 31 weeks, after having sex I was gushing bright red blood. Went to the ER to make sure it was nothing wrong since I've never ever bled so heavily after sex & in this pregnancy at all & they finally found where I had a popped blood vessel on my cervix from the sex. Scared me to death. I would just suggest not having too rough of sex that's what landed me in the ER (TMI lol) but it's very normal to spot I promise

Answer

You don't want to be spotting everyday either. Your baby needs that blood, it's part of the uterine lining.

Answer

I wouldn't worry about light spotting right now. It's not blood clots so your fine.

Answer

You need to refrain from sex from now on then for a bit because he may have irritated your cervix... I had this with my first pregnancy and I got put on pelvic bed rest until 12 weeks...
