7 weeks pregnant tomorrow and noticed bleeding after sex (sorry tmi)?

My wife started bleeding at about 11 weeks after we had sex, we had thought that was it as we have had miscarriages before and booked straight in for a scan the day after, when we got there we were expecting the worst but the scan was clear and everything was still healthy, that was 8 weeks ago and everything is still fine.

One of our first miscarriages started with heavy bleeding but it was also severe cramping etc., if you do get severe cramping, get straight to hospital without hesitation.

They do say that bleeding can happen still occasionally during pregnancy.

But I would go in expecting to hear the worst, it sounds a bad thing for me to say but from experience its the best way to be, then if it is ok you will be even happier.

At 7 weeks it is still early days and if something was going to go wrong, sex won't have caused it so don't blame yourself if it is bad news.

I do however hope that is is good news and it is just something normal that has happened to you, good luck ! There is nothing better than good news after a fright so I hope it is good

Bleeding after sex is very common, especially in early pregnancy. The cervix is going through lots of changes and becomes more engorged, then during sex the penis can bump against it and it can become irritated, causing it to bleed a little.

I had the exact same thing you described and as I'd had previous miscarriages I totally panicked. I called my midwife and the first thing she asked was "have you had sex in the last 24 hours?". When I said yes she explained about the cervix and the changes going on in there. The advice was to monitor it. Provided it stopped of it's own accord, there was no cramping, and there were no clots/tissue being passed then everything was fine.

I know it's worrying, but I'd offer the same advice to you - keep an eye on things, if it gets heavier or you become crampy or clots appear then go right to the hospital. If these things don't occur you'll be fine until your scan tomorrow.

Also, unless instructed otherwise by a doctor, there is no reason not to have sex at any time in pregnancy - including the first 12 weeks.

at 7wks your body still isn't producing a ton of the hormone that says your pregnant. this is the hormone that represses menstration. it's possible that the low hormone levels have let a menstration cycle sneak in. this would not harm the baby. it could also just be some sort of implantation bleeding.

I started having bleeding around 8wks and bled on and off my whole pregnancy, still not sure why. I have a healthy 3yr old now.

Around 11 weeks I had an incident where I very quickly bled A LOT. About 3/4cup of blood poured out of me. I also passed a blood clot. I bawled. I thought I'd had a miscarriage. I went to the ER that night. I told them I hadn't felt any cramping so they were skeptical about the miscarriage. They monitored my blood levels but sent me home and told me to see my doctor the next day. I had an ultrasound and sure enough the babe was still there.

I would also suggest not having intercourse until after you are twelve weeks, as I had the same problem but gave birth to a healthy son. Try not to worry too much and also take it easy as this can happen to some people but still needs to be checked out to make sure everything is ok in pregnancy. If you get anymore bleeding or any pain then call your GP straight away or go to your nearest A & E department. Good luck for tomorrow.

Some women do suffer from bleeding in early pregnancy but you did the right thing by making an appointment they normally said RED blood is fresh blood and so it really does need to be checked out. Take it easy until you go for your scan.

Im sorry to say that it could be a miscarriage. Although there should be some cramping with the blood. That is the only reason I would know of that would cause so much blood. I hope that this is not the case and wish you the very best!

I had spotting but it wasn't bright red. You could've just scraped the cervix because the nerves in it are getting a ton of blood right now, so maybe it got scraped. If you're not cramping, then honestly try to relax.

sounds scary .have you been to the hospital to check if everything is alright ?

I would do that first .!

according to these symptoms it looks like you've had a miscarriage . But I am not sure

go and see ur Gp immediately !!!!

and don't have sex until after 12 weeks !

take care

that's eactly what happened to me with my first at 9 weeks. We had sex and I saw blood. It ended in miscarriage. I hope better for you.

It's normal.
