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 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. :)
