Light bleeding after sex?

ekbrick83 · September 2014

I'm almost positive this is normal but it always helps ease my mind when someone else chimes in with their experience. 22 weeks along- no spotting at all until tonight after sex. Was a little more uncomfortable than usual (sorry tmi) and when finished and in the bathroom, noticed a very light pink/peach tinge on the tp. Have checked since and already looks like it's done but thought I'd check in with you ladies.

Cervix is super vascular during pregnancy and I spotted a lot after sex with my 1st.

My cervix is really sensitive and I've spotted a number of times. In fact each time it happened my OB always asks first if I've had sex recently. I still keep her updated at each appointment (or in between when it seems like a lot of blood). Although it's perfectly normal I like to have everything on file.

Bleeding/spotting is never "normal", but it can be common during pregnancy. Like pp's have said, as long as it isn't getting darker or heavier it's probably fine. The first question the nurse would ask is if you've had sex in the past 3 days.

I had spotting after sex at 13 weeks. It was scary at the beginning but tapered off over a couple days. The nurse just advised to avoid sex for 5 days or something like that. I've had no further incidents. And at the time sex was feeling more uncomfortable for me due to my cervix being more sensitive.

Thanks ladies! All was well shortly after and everything looks fine this morning. Just always alarming to see anything out of the ordinary. :-S
