Bleeding after sex

I am 16 weeks on Sunday and me and my partner have had sex and after noticed I am bleeding.

It was a large amount at first however after a shower and using a pad it’s a very small amount

I’m 14 months PP from my first and in labour I had 3rd degree tears and stitches due to this so I’m not sure if maybe it could be to do with my stitches or if I should be worried?
I’ve had no pain or any other signs anything could be wrong with the pregnancy so just a little unsure right now

Any advice appreciated 🤍

Just ring your maternity triage :) x

as I’m only 16 weeks my local triage won’t see/speak to me and I’d have to go to a&e

Is there no early pregnancy unit???

unfortunately not, unless your 20 weeks + the only way to be seen is to go to a&e or my GP

There must be a number for early pregnancy unit in your notes. I’m sure every hospital has it adjoining the anti natal and Labour ward x

This happened to me at 7 weeks ( back in October) I called the doctor and they referred me to the hospital for an emergency scan. Everything was good with baby thankfully x

I have looked. There isn’t x

The bleeding did only last for a matter of seconds, it was a pinkish colour and I’ve had no bleeding or pain since so my brain is telling me it’s nothing to be worried about and it was just from having sex while pregnant as I know that is a big cause of bleeding in pregnancy

I’m also pregnant again and this time had it happen every time in early pregnancy. It seems to be normal x

Oh my God, oh my God I hope this is not true!!!! I’m kind of scared

I’ve been throwing up and taking a shit all night!!! I just hope that it’s not what I think it is

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Hi

Hi guys so I’m 25 weeks today and I haven’t felt the baby kick at all yet at the scans she’s moving constantly that it’s hard to get the right measurements my first pregnancy was cryptic so I just want suggestions from one worried mother

Rolling milestone at 5 months - What’s typical ?

Good morning ladies,

My daughter will be 5 months old tomorrow, but there’s still no sign of her rolling. She does tummy time and loves lying on her mat, playing with hanging toys above her and to the sides, but she only lifts her legs and doesn’t seem interested in rolling or moving sideways yet.

Anyone else the same or have your babies already learnt how to roll yet ?

Thank you

If this is your second child are you/have you given your eldest a present “from baby”

If so what did you give them because I am stuckkkkkkk, due next week so really need to get a wriggle on to get sorted 😂
