vascular cervix??

Anyone experience this?  I had cramping the other day and went to OB.  I started bleeding heavily during the speculum exam.  The twins look fine but he says my cervix is super vascular. 

Re: vascular cervix??

  • It's pretty normal to have some spotting or bleeding after an exam while you're pregnant, since there's so much extra blood flow in the pelvic area. "Friable" is another term for a cervix that bleeds easily. I never had frank bleeding, but would usually spot/cramp afterward.
  • i had this. At 12 weeks i started having brown spotting when i would go to work. I completely freaked out. Upon exam it was found i have a friable cervix. So any vigorious movment, sex, BM's, even coughing or sneezing could cause spotting. I bleed for about a week after the exam and still had some brown spotting episodes with activity. I was told its completely common with pregnancy esp. twins since we have even more blood flow.
