Hi all, I am 18wks 4 days . Me and my partner had sex this morning and when I wiped there was a tiny amount of blood on the tissue. I went the toilet again before and again wiped and a little blood. Should I be concerned?

I would always say get it checked out but probably no need to be concerned. You might have a cervical ectropion which bleeds on contact, but won’t affect your pregnancy. But you can’t know until you get it looked at - maybe check in with your midwife?
I rang the maternity ward hun, they said it’s extremely common and won’t be anything to worry about but to keep my eye on it and if it gets worse to ring them again or go down but seems to stopped now xx

Then you’re probably all good :) fingers crossed you don’t get anymore!

If it continues or becomes heavier get it checked but spotting is very normal.
I was diagnosed with cervical ectropian at 13weeks when I woke with a heavy bleed, have had several light amounts since, a quick internal will diagnose, doesn't affect baby just means your alittle more uncomfortable and panicking 😂
My midwife said regardless of ectropian that small blood after sex is very common because your insides are much softer and delicate now.

Any blood yet checked xx
