He said that people get spotting and start to get worried and than things go wrong from the stress.

Not here, but I can understand it. It sounds more like a precautionary thing for the doc. They don't want to have you calling them up because your just spotting from sex. I don't think its something that most people can't do, I just think its something that can cause worry.

DH and I had sex around 9 weeks and I wouldn't do it again because of the cramping and spotting. Then I learned we were doing it wrong because we tried one more time around 12 weeks and I had no problems afterwards. I believe it was because we were used to doing whatever we wanted. I was a little more cautious this second time and we were easy and gentle. It was still wonderful, but no bleeding or cramping.

My doc said that I may have some light spotting after but she didn't think it would be a problem.

That's an odd thing for a doctor to say I think- everyone knows that you may see some spotting here and there.

If there is unexplained bleeding your doctor will tell you to hold off for up to ten days if there is a concern about infection. But if you have been examined and your cervix is closed (around 7 weeks) then I don't understand such a big rule.

Yes, when i was pg. w/ DS i had spotting between weeks 4-5 so i was told no sex until after the first trimester. i didn't argue.

No never been told that & we have lots of sex--LOL! I never spotted early in my pregnancies except the first one that I lost. I did spot at the end of my 2nd pregnancy but that's something totally different.

My doc didn't mention anything like that either. We've had sex several times since getting the BFP.

we had sex on wed- and i just spotted red today. so now I am nervous. I have not see the dr. yet.... I do have a call in to have someone call me back today... should be interesting to see what they say?

Nope, haven't ever heard that from my Dr. Besides, if she had said that I think he would have cried a little on the inside. We too do the deed alot and have never experienced any kind of spotting but I understand that its normal after sex. We did sorta tone down our bed side manner though just much to my chagrin.

Yes...I actually have been told to refrain...the only reason being though is because the placenta has seperated slightly from the uterus which has caused a severe amount of bleeding and could potentially lead to worse things...basically it has caused me to be on bed rest...so DH and I are having a celibate marriage...lol.

My midwife said to continue to have sex and that I could expect some light spotting afterwards.

wow-

I haven't experienced any spotting after sex yet, which is good because DH and I have been doing it a lot. As long as the spotting isn't red or accompanied with cramping you should be fine.

For real??? Normal stress does NOT cause a m/c or pregnancy complications. That's simply ridiculous.
