Blood loss after sexual intercourse

If you've experienced blood loss after sex, you're in a state of complete anxiety... like one in four pregnant women.

Rest assured, most of the time it's benign. Your cervix will remain fragile throughout your pregnancy, so it may bleed if it's a little irritated.

It's rare, but it's possible that you'll have a little blood at about the time that your period would have been due. It's not quite the same thing if you bleed at the beginning or end of your pregnancy.

In any case, go see a doctor.

Your cervix has a lot more blood flow during pregnancy and can be a lot more sensitive. I’ve been spotting on and off my whole pregnancy and I’m currently 10 weeks. Typically I wipe, and there’s pink blood and if I wipe again, there isn’t anything.

Is it normal to bleed after intercourse? I don’t ever remember light bleeding with my other 2 babies. Should I call my DR? I seen a tiny blood tissue clot and some light bleeding when I wiped.

As long as yu not bleeding like a period . Yu should be okay. This happened to me before and then shortly after i started bleeding heavy and had to go to the hospital. Light bleeding is fine but if yu still second guess yourself it’s okay too go get checked out to be ona safe side.

Had u been diagnosed with a hematoma? I’d go get checked out just to be certain. A lil pink bcz the cervix is really sensitive is one thing but to have blood and clots, I’d go to the ER.

Yes light blood is normal because your cervix is swollen with blood when pregnant. The brown discharge is probably the old blood mixed with your normal discharge. All very normal

Anyone bleed after having intercourse with your partner. I’m a little nervous. It’s very light and only very little when I wipe after I use the bathroom. Should I be concerned?

I’m so nervous! I’m 38 and had a miscarriage before (14 years ago) then I got pregnant a month later with my daughter whose 13 now. But now that I’m a lot older I’m a bit nervous. I’ve never bled in any of my other 3 pregnancies. But I’m keeping an eye out making sure there’s no clots

A couple days ago I had a little Pink blood after having intercourse could that be a possibility of implantation bleeding? My period Date is supposed to be the 24th

I think it could be a few other things like light lascerations due to contact, or a period residue, or other stuff.. well, I would avoid intercourse when I know I *might* be already pregnant, just to not disturb the peace going on inside. 😆 Love to you ♥️
