Saw a little blood

Please if you are Praying people say a prayer. I am 8 weeks today and my husband and I had sex last night and now I'm bleeding. It's not much, but I'm also having slight cramps. I am so scared I've had two miscarriages already and have two beautiful sons. I.don't want to lose this baby. :(

Same thing happened to me after sex, and at 8 weeks, $330 later, it was merely a capillary that burst from the movement. First it seemed heavy and then it was more of a mix of blood with discharge that at first glance looked alarming. You and your baby are fine, no worries.

Don't speak anything negative! God hears you and if you're already in doubt, why should he put in work? I sent a prayer up for you in Jesus name. God is so good! Believe he is going to work it out. Blessings!

you're welcome! & yes, just take it easy, and try not so stress.

easier said than done, I know. as long as it's brown you should be fine. I'm also still cramping every now & then, but they say it's just my uterus stretching.. I'll keep you in my prayers! (((: oh, added you as a friend also!

same here! I'm 10w2d - just this past week (at 9w4d) my fiancé rushed me to the ER at 12 a.m. b/c I had enough brown blood/slightly red to FILL a pantiliner..

6 hours later, after seeing my baby for the first time (VERY active, PERFECT heartbeat) I was also diagnosed with a Subchorionic Hemorrhage! apparently it's very common.. blood just gets trapped in-between the placenta & uterus during development. most times the body just absorbs it, or it'll come out on it's own. I'm also not allowed to have sex, strain, or do any lifting.

I'd bring this up during your doctor's visit, but if it's brown blood I'd assume everything is okay. good luck & prayers!! ❤

I feel your concern.  Im about 7and 1/2 weeks with first pregnancy.  My  husband and I had sex two days ago and I'm still spotting.  Called our doc office yesterday and said it should be fine unless I get cramping or run a fever.  We may go to the clinic today just to double check.  Next doc apt isn't until April 14th.  Hoping everything is OK!

Bleeding is normal after sex, a pelvic exam, and sometimes after a bowel movement... I would abstain from sex for a week and if it continues to happen your doctor may put you on pelvic rest. My first pregnancy I didnt have any bleeding after sex, but this one I do... I've been on complete pelvic rest since Feb. 21st... I have chronic UTI's with this pregnancy which is why I've been bleeding off and on... I just cant wait for it to all be over... less than 10 weeks left! :)

Ty. I am feeling much better. All these people are Praying for me and sending positive encouraging words. I am trying to stay as still as possible and rest. Kinda difficult with a 2 1/2 year old and hubby and older son not home. I just had an ultrasound on Tuesday and everything looked good... saw the heartbeat and found out my hcg levels are doubling like they are supposed to. So I am trying to remain positive and hoping that maybe the spotting was just some old blood knocked loose. :)

I had some bleeding yesterday i went to the er and everything was fine. I actually saw my babys heartbeat for the first time. The dr said i have a subchorionic hemerage and it should dissolve on it own. I also have my first app on Monday im 8 weeks today. I was really scared because we have been trying for three years and had an mc before aswell. But it turned out fine . I have a little cramping but i have stopped bleeding it was very little. Relax i know its hard but you have just 2 more days however i know its pricey but if you really want peice of mind the er will give you an ultrasound to check were the bleeding is coming from. Sometimes penetration can aggravate so it might of just been the sex. The dr in the er said not to have any untill it dissolves on its own. Btw im a ftm and this is the furthest i have gotten in a pregnancy so i freak for anything i know how hard it is to relax but just try and keep your feelings positive so you can attract positive outcomes: )

Should I go to the doctor? I mean what are they going to be able to do?? I have an appointment on Monday. I was just going to wait till then. I had a miscarriage in October and went to the er. It cost $200 and they didn't do anything but blood tests and told me I wasn't pregnant anymore. If I am not having a miscarriage and they see the baby and heartbeat I would still be worried that it could happen (happened in my 1st miscarriage in 2008 went for ultrasound and everything was okay... few days later still bleeding so went for another one and no heartbeat). I am just trusting God right now.
