Too afraid to sleep (Maybe tmi)

After my partner and I had sex (which has been frequent and normal throughout the pregnancy) I went to the bathroom and there was bright red blood on the tissue, a fair bit in the toilet and what looked like a chunk of my mucus plug. This was at 11:20 pm. At 11:50 pm I called my midwife because it was more than spotting and so dark in colour. She told me to count kicks and call her back if there were less than 6 in an hour or if the bleeding increased. There were more than 6 movements within half an hour so I tried to sleep. Managed to rest. Woke up at 3:30 and checked the blood - still dark red but only spotting. Counted movements again: baby boy is active but I'm still afraid something is wrong.

(Edit: I'm 38w +3)

    It sounds like you irritated your cervix when having sex; however, we are not OBs and cannot give you medical advice over the Internet. I would be reassured that you have contacted your midwife and she isn't concerned given your current symptoms. If you are still worried, there is no harm in calling your midwife again and requesting to be seen. Good luck!

    I'm a FTM and don't have experience with this, but I hope everything is okay! It sounds like you and your midwife are monitoring the situation and that's good!

    Thank you for your replies. I've calmed down. Everything seems to be going okay and I'll be seeing my midwife this afternoon anyway. Thankful for a place to vent these early morning scares.
