First time pregnancy

I'm a first time mommy, about 6-7 weeks pregnant. I recently had sex back to back which I'm holding off on it and throughout the next day I've been spotting bright red just when I use the restroom. It's not spotting to where I have to use a pad or panty liner. I have the usual cramping which isn't painful. I'm very worried but Would this be a normal to happen??

Early in my pregnancy (when I didn't even know) I would spot after sex I thought it was weird but over looked it. Then I found out I was pregnant n its normal to spot a lil after sex. If it continues and gets more heavy with a lot of pain without sex then I would worry.

Usually the cause is the cervix. It's super sensitive and thin right now. Congrats on the new baby!

Thanks for the feedback. I know the nurse told me that its basically trauma to my cervix.

If its bright red you need to go the hospital, it could be nothing but I was always told bright red isn't a good sign and it's always better to be safe than sorry!
