[chrissy2010]

im5w5d and on 4/28 i had brown spotting and mild cramps that were off and on but not to mild to put me in pain. and then everything stopped later that day. then today i had brown/red spotting but no cramps and it only lasted a couple of hours. well i dont know if it because i had intercourse last night that could of caused that to happen. i called my doctor and she said that is common but if it gets worse to come in.   please if you have experienced this or can help me with any answers.

Its a good thing that you no longer have the cramps and that the first ones you had were not very painfull, alot of women do have light spotting in early pregnacy and can just be everything settling down, i would say that if your are really worried speak to the doc as getting yourself worked up is not good for you or the baby, they could do a scan would be early to see much but they would know if things were on track for how far along you are ! i hope everything is ok, best of luck !!

hey im 5w,3d and although i havnt had sex since finding out im preg as ive not been feeling very sexy and in the mood but apparently it is ok to have sex in early pregnancy- but i did have the spotting and the cramping. it was never red blood thiough, just brown like i usualy get before i come on. i was worried about the cramps but theyve gone now(lasted about a week). if they get really bad hun id go to the docs rather than just phone. keep an eye on what the spotting looks like, are there any clots etc and keep a note for your own peace of mind and the midwife might want to see also.
best of luck hun and keep us updated!!!

I spotted around the time I was due to get my period when I was pregnant and that only in the first trimester. Apparently almost 25% of women exeprience some form of spotting during pregnancy. I also suffered from mild cramps. After intercourse, it can be normal to spot, I also did. If you're really concerned talk to your OB.

The best thing is that you aren't cramping and spotting at the same time. When I bled during my last pregnancy I would only cramp when I wasn't bleeding. My doctor said that when you cramp and bleed at the same time that is when you should be worried. Also, its common to have a little spotting after intercourse since your cervix is extra sensitive during pregnancy. With that being said, I would see if your doctor can get you an ultrasound so you can see if everything is progressing normally just to be on the safe side and to put your worries to rest.

Hey. I am sorry that you are stressing out about your problem (((HUG))). I don't have any experience really with that but def do what your doc says and if it gets worse don't hesitate to go in. I hope you feel better soon.
