Advice - rough sex

No advice but following. I had pain during sex but not the bleeding. Is it just as painful in all positions? I found some gentler than others

@Jess not painful if he is on top and relatively gentle but anything else is after a few minutes! It was never like this before I was pregnant, and nothing we try seems to be easing it at all

I would be careful and reach out to a doctor. Although sex is usually completely safe and encouraged to do during pregnancy, there are cases where doctors will say to refrain if it could pose risk to you or baby. I occasionally had spotting after sex or a position that was less comfortable but never heavy bleeding or severe pain. May be best to check with a doctor to play it safe

This sounds unusual to me and heavy bleeding you need to call 111 if you’re from the UK doesn’t sound right

@Flower I’ve been to see GP and spoke to 111 both times told me to monitor with pregnancy tests for a week and call back if still positive. I have swabs and bloods upcoming but there not for another 1.5 weeks yet (I am in the UK)

Why don’t you try some gentle sex and see if same thing happens? Also you need to reach out to your midwife asap, it doesn’t sound good bleeding after intercourse. The sharp pains sounds like its your ligaments stretching to accommodate the growing baby. Hope all settles down good for you.

I would stop until you can speak to a doctor.

I’m not sure why they are telling you to test? I don’t know I never heard of heavy bleeding to be honest but then I hope everything will be okay with you… I personally don’t think it’s a good idea to do rough at this stage.. especially if you are bleeding and getting pains etc just be gentle for now there is a life growing inside you and you need to be careful you don’t put pressure around that area .. that’s my intake

Yeah I would stop until you are at the safe zone in pregnancy hun. Heavy bleeding is not normal and you can pose a risk to baby if it's too rough.

Chill on the sex for a few days to weeks and talk to ur doctor it can be serious

I would get an ultrasound for sure to see if there is anything else going on and most likely they will put you on bed rest so no sex for some time or the remaining of your pregnancy since it’s heavy bleeding accompanied by sharp pains definitely not normal.

You may have a low lying placenta, I know it’s super early but I found out that I did at my 12 week scan, after bleeding after sex nearly everytime, I had an early scan at 8 weeks because I bled that much but there was no concern as they couldn’t find why, made sense later when I found out about the placenta. We took it gently from then, mine got lower as the pregnancy moved forward and id have light - medium bleeding lasting up to a couple of hours after sex but by 27 weeks it had moved higher up and haven’t had a problem since, it’s scary

Also, right sided pain can be a sign of an ectopic. Am in UK too. I went to A&E at 6 weeks with right sided pain and got scanned very quickly. They do transvaginal at that stage, and at 6 weeks you can see a heartbeat. Strongly recommend not letting it sit.
