bleeding

[rachie204]

So lastnight I tarted having some little cramps but they were not very painful and I was also very gassy and constipated so i'm not sure if that is the reason i was cramping or if it was something to do with the baby.  Then this morning after having sex when I went to the bathroom and wiped there is a very light pink showing up on the toliet paper.  It isn't much, just sorta absorbs into the paper and it isn't red or anything.  I know that it is normal to spot durning pregnancy after having sex but it still doesn't make me feel any better.  Is this what spotting from sex should look like?  Is pink a bad sign?  We are going to go to church and if it gets heavier or I start cramping again I am going to go to the er

sorry I havent updated..VERY SWEET OF YALL TO CHECK BACK ON ME!!  :)   The spotting stopped shortly after it started and the nurse said that and the pain was from having sex.   I go for my first u/s on next friday.  Once again sorry I didn't post, I have been VERY nasuous and started baby sitting a 8 week old every day...lol.   With the pregnancy, my 4 year old and the 8 week old i'm staying pretty busy.

i dont see that journal...

i know she was online today because she responded to that "looooooooooong" political post...should we just kill....

but its odd she didnt update on how she's doing

im just a worry wart

[irrelevance]

Not regarding this, but I saw her posting on a journal discussion earlier today.

The cervix is more sensative than usual during pregnancy and all of your organs [including the vagina, and cervix] have increased blood flow. Pink spotting is usually okay unless it gets heavier.. I'm assuming she's doing okay. but no update ?

[waitn838]

has anybody heard from her?

[waitn838]

Yeah just take it easy with the sex till your second trimester cuz anything can happen during the first.

[rachie204]

thanks ladies.  I think I will call the OB in the morning just to check...maybe they will have me come in for an emergency u/s since I haven't had one yet and i'll be 7weeks on tuesday.  Mine is scheduled for next friday.

I am not sure but I agree with the ladies please please please keep us posted.

I went to the ER the other day for spotting. Turns out that it was mycervix bleeding, which can be normal because it is engorged with blood.  However, cervical bleeding is not something the jeopardizes the baby, because my cervix is closed. Even so, we were told no more sex until trimester #2.  I hope that helps, I bet it is just your cervix reacting to being touched

Yeah I think momnpain is right.  With you having sex  too maybe your cervix is really low and he could have been hitting it?  I am not sure. But I am thinking that she nailed it and it that could be what its from!  I hope everything else is wonderful!  :)

Pink doesn't necessarily mean anything bad. Just as you said, spotting is normal after sex in pregnancy. Cramps are normal, too. I cramped until I was about 24 weeks - sometimes from gas and not being able to go potty and sometimes from my uterus stretching. I think you're okay - but to be on the safe side, if it happens again, go to the ER. How far along are you now, anyway? GL...
