I know that the baby is well position in mommy's womb, but we all know that pregnant women are very anxious people. I am now 15 weeks pregnant and 2 weeks ago while I was on top of my BF grinding and came (sorry for tmi). I had an episode of brown spotting and 1 time red spot and then turned back to very tiny amount of spotting when I wiped. It lasted very shortly. I called my MD and he said that they heard the baby heart beat three times already and i am 13 weeks and that it wasn't a problem because sometimes sexual encounter does cause small amount of bleeding. I keep worrying that my baby isn't okay especially that I am too early to feel the kicking which would be reassuring to me. Anyone had any experience similar to me please share.
 
Hi. I am 7.5 weeks and a couple of weeks ago, i had the same issue. i talked to my doc and she said everything was ok, but put me on "pelvic rest' for a month (no intercourse). I think it was just a precaution though, because it was too early to see/hear the heartbeat. I think it would be best to just take it easy if it concerns you...don't be rough or go too deep. I'm sure everything is just fine, but I know it can be scary to think about. Oh, and use LOTS of lube.. it's probably cuz your drier than usual- this sometimes causes frictional bleeding because your blood pressure is up. I was reading all about it on other various sites and it really helped me calm down :)
 
I think majority of women are nervous about miscarriage. Spotting after sex is normal! I am 15 weeks as well! Good luck and enjoy your precious miracle!!
 
Hello dear!

I would be very comforted by the fact that you have heard the baby's heartbeat! But if you feel uncomfortable with it and want to be reassured, your doctor should be willing to fit you in for another sono.
 
Your fine....some woman when they have sex will get a small amount of bleeding b/c your cervix is very sensitive as long as you didn't get heavy bleeding with cramps your fine :).....I thought I would miscarry in the beginning and shortly got over it....but trust me your fine.
Good luck and congrats!!
 
Sex wouldn't cause a miscarriage UNLESS the baby was already going to miscarry anyway. In other words, if someone were to miscarry after sex, they were likely to miscarry within the next few days regardless-so don't worry.
