I had some spotting a few times after sex, whilst i was pregnant. Especially during the last 6 weeks of my pregnancy. My doctor told me it was nothing to worry about. However if you experience unusual pain after sex / have heavier spotting / constant bleeding after sex - i would recommend seeing your doctor, just to check everything is ok. However from what I know, it's normal. :)

Yeah happened to me at 7 weeks too. It happens commonly after sex (even, erm, when it is sex with yourself). As long as it is brown blood and lasts less than 24 hours you shouldn't worry too much but tell your GP/midwife when you next speak to them.

Not what you're looking for?
