Just wanted to share this story Incase someone goes through something similar. This is my second pregnancy (first ended in miscarriage). I am almost 12 weeks and everything has been great so far. So yesterday me and my husband had sex in the morning. Nothing too crazy. That night before bed I went to the bathroom and there was blood. Not just a little. Lots of bright red blood. I immediately freaked out. I assumed this was the end. I called my doc and she told me to calm down and see if it slows down or keeps going. It stayed going for about 2 hours, but I never passed tissue or anything. I have a home doppler and I was able to hear a nice strong heart beat!!! Thankfully this morning the bleeding has stopped. It was truly one of the scariest things I've been through. 
I say all this to tell you all I'm now on pelvic rest. This means no sex. I had previously assumed sex was always safe in pregnancy, but in some cases it can cause significant bleeding. Luckily, everything is fine but I wanted to encourage anyone who may have a similar incident!! Good luck friends!
