Spotting after sex - 20 weeks pregnant and freaked out

[TheSeal]

Hi ladies, the title says everything. Has this happened to anyone? I read is normal unless it's not heavy and I don't even have cramps or pain, it's just spotting, yesterday was pinkish, low amount and this morning some brown ish, very tiny appeared. I have my 20 week scan next week so I am going to wait and pray that everything is fine. Is this happened to any of you?

Please help

Hello future mummy!

Please don’t worry, it’s completely normal. You probably just irritated your cervix. When it used to happen to me I would always find reassurance in the fact that I could still feel my baby moving around.

Thank you, that puts my mind at peace. I felt some movements, though it is still sort of bubbling, not a clear movement, but I felt it this morning so.. You are right, it's reassuring. Thanks for your reply

It could just be the cervix being irritated, if it lasts longer than a couple of hours or gets really heavy and bright red, call the midwife! Xx

Thanks, will do. It seems to have dropped now. Finger crossed

I spot regularly after sex and it's fine unless your rheuses negative and then you need anti d each time. Maybe try a different position, but if it's not uncomfortable I wouldn't worry too much x

Thanks for your reply. I am rhesus positive so I am not worried about that. I might try different positions, so far I am still comfortable, my bump isn't that big yet 😊 thanks tho, it's reassuring knowing that's normal and happened to other ladies
