Sex Question...

in 1st Trimester

This may be TMI- but last night I had sex wtih my husband and it kind of hurt for some reason. After we were done I went to the bathroom and noticed a few little pieces of brown coming from my vagina. I did have this one other time before shortly after an ultra sound and sex so I am not too worried about it since I had an ultra sound yesterday and everything looks good. My question is if anyone else has experienced this. Now I am afraid to have sex with my DH.

    It probably just irritated a little bit. Nothing to worry about, but keep watching it and if it doesn't stop call the doctor.

    Sex might hurt or feel different because there is more blood flow going on down there.  Your cervix is more sensitive right now.   A lot of people I know have had spotting after sex, so it's perfectly normal.    I had sex for the first time since we found out last night.  No spotting, but dear Lord it was painful. And, I got pretty bad cramps afterwards.   I'd ask your doctor to be on the safe side, but I'd recommend just slowing it down, be a bit more gentle, and a LOT of foreplay.

    Up until about week 8 I would spot after my husband and I had sex.  It was always brown and hardly at all.  After about week 8 sex became AMAZING!  So much better than before being pregnant.  It does still hurt sometimes when my cervix gets "poked" but overall, all the weird pain seemed to have cleared up and I don't spot anymore.  Good luck!

    I do spot a bit after sex... it's not much, but the first time, it was certainly enough to scare me! I called my midwife and was told that it's definitely not out of the norm and pretty much so long as it's not accompanied by pain/cramping, don't freak.

    Brown spotting means it's older blood. Blood will turn brown as it's exposed to oxygen.

    Unless your doctor has classified you as high risk, or otherwise explicitly told you to avoid sex while pregnant, there's no reason to avoid it. 

    It is possible, however, that it may be uncomfortable or even somewhat painful (for a variety of reasons), and it can cause spotting (both small amounts of red blood, and more likely small amounts of brown). None of those things indicate a problem. If the spotting is heavy, especially if it's red and heavy, you'll need to get that checked out. Otherwise, enjoy the bonding with your husband -- it shouldn't hurt or affect the baby at all.

    I think it is pretty normal for sex to be uncomfortable in your first trimester. You are having a lot of changes down there. I just make sure he "warms me up" more than normal. I am so sick though we have not been doing as much as normal!
