Nearly lost virginity now bleeding

So my boyfriend and I felt ready to have sex and I was excited and everything. But when he tried to go in he couldn’t even get the full tip in without me almost crying from pain. He was very kind and sweet and so understanding. And he stopped when I told him to. Now it’s the morning after and I’m bleeding not like full period and I’m still really sore. (I know I’m not on my period trust me). So is it normal to bleed after? Should I check with a doctor? An tips on how to make it less painful? Just anything, any advice about anything that even somewhat relates will help me, please!
