bleeding

[J2G]

I am 14 weeks pregnant with my 3rd pregnancy. my husband and I had intercourse last night. I then started bleeding bright red pretty heavy. I had to wear a pad to bed last night. this morning it was still lightly bleeding and now I am lightly spotting. Has this happened to anyone with it being that heavy and that bright red? I've had light brown spotting after sex but nothing like this. I tried calling the ob but it's the weekend and I only got to speak to a nurse who was reading off a list if questions. she said to wait 24 hours to see if it would stop. that didn't really put my mind at ease

that happened to me with my first pregnancy I went to the ER and everything was fine.
second pregnancy no bleeding at all.
now I'm on my third pregnancy and every time I would go number 2 I would bleed which stopped at 15 weeks

Phones stupid sorry: it u fill a pad within an hour that's when they want u to go in. But laying on my left hand side helped a lot it stopped the bleeding for me drink plenty of water

Lay on your left side it should help went through it with both of my first pregancies

I experienced that in my first trimester too! I was frightened but if there's no pain then its what the doctors call "breakthrough bleeding" its your body either preparing you for prengnancy or your body was too stressed. It took me 2 days before i was able to have intercourse again. Just relax for a few days if pain begins to come then head to the ER,  if no pain then you're fine!

Yes I had this with my 2nd baby I had intercourse after the bed had a red puddle of blood I stood up and it was running down my legs I was sure id miscarried  4 weeks later I had no period still so went for a scan to find a very happy 14 week baby shes now 7. Ive had miscarriages since then and you really do know  when your having one they come with pain aswell as blood.

yeah they said it's normal but I didn't in my other pregnancies. I was pretty frustrated there wasn't an on call doctor too. this is my first time with this ob. I guess I will be bringing that up in my next appointment. I obviously wouldn't be calling if it wasn't something I thought was serious. trying not to worry but my second pregnancy was a miscarriage so...kinda hard not to

I would continue to watch it, if you start bleeding red again and/or start to experience cramping I would go to the emergency just to be safe and either way I would definitely call your doctor in the morning. I have heard it's normal to spot after sex, but any time you hear red blood there's a sign for some concern. Good luck.

I asked my obgyn about this and how much was too much blood. I have a friend who has just gone through her 4th miscarriage, so i was pretty concerned. She said to call if i saw any so that they knew and could tell me if it was dangerous. I'm surprised they didn't have an on-call doctor for you to talk to. (it might be worth it to call back and ask)

Try to relax about it...more stress could cause more problems, if there are any. As awful as it is, try to just realize that if it doesn't stop, there isn't much you can do to help it except staying calm and eventually seeing a doctor :-(

I hope everything turns out ok! Let us know how it goes!
