spotting

[newmami06]

I am a first time mommy and am 35 weeks and I don't think I have lost my plug yet but when I went to the restroom there was a lil pink......that's spotting right and normal right?

Its probably just your cervixs just mention is when you next see your midwife x

[newmami06]

Yea it wasn't very much....n it didn't happen the next time I went to the restroom so I think it stopped

[rach_mammy]

No lol u don't have to stop having sex I have but only because of how much I panic when I see blood afterwards lol x

No, unless your bleeding heavily like a period, it's normal, and perfectly okay to have sex. If you lose your mucus plug, water breaks, or your doctor says not to, then it's fine!

[newmami06]

Does that mean I have to stop having sex:( .....lol

[rach_mammy]

I'm pregnant and bleed everytime me and my partner have sex I am only around 6wks so I panic everytime it happens so at the minute sex is totally gone 4 now lol my fiance isn't best pleased but I just don't feel comfortable lol x

spotting after sex is common especially in the third trimester, it dosent have to be rough, your cervix is softening in readiness for labour, (sperm will help this) and tiny blood vessels are close to the surface and its very easy for one of them to burst, as long as it doesnt turn into heavy bleeding like a period, just mention it to your doc tomorrow

[newmami06]

Ok thanks I will do that and let my doctor know if anything changes!

I would watch it and wait for now, as long as its a small amount. The uterus is very sensitive while pregnant and sex (especially if it's rough) can cause bleeding.

[newmami06]

Sex yes and I think his bh cuz I feel the tightness but no pain or anything like that.....should I call the doc and let them no or his wait till tomorrow....I have  an appointment tomorrow

Bleeding while pregnant is never 'normal', but is common. Did you recently have a pelvic exam done, or have sex? Are you having contractions? You might not ever see a mucous plug before labour, I never did with mine and many others haven't either.
