Hi everyone, I was just wondering if somebody had similar experience...

This is my first pregnancy and so far it has been healthy and normal but at some point I started taking progesterone due to contractions and back pain I experienced one day due to overexertion, as i described to my doctor over the phone. Otherwise I continued living normally. On day 23+3 of my pregnancy I had sex and right after felt like cramp in my ovaries and started leaking dark pink blood. I went right to hospital where first diagnosis was that my water broke. The bleeding stopped almost immediately and did not come back (Thank you dear God). After a pile of antibiotics, telling me that baby will not survive and blah blah, in 3 days eventually they agreed nothing is wrong, the amount of amniotic fluid is the same and there are no infections... Not even one of the doctors from the hospital tried to talk to me about what could have been the cause of bleeding after intercourse. I was released from hospital at the beginning of week 24 and am home right now, feeling great.

I don't want to discuss health system in my country that's not my point (wish I was in US so I can sue the doctors for emotional distress though). I was just wondering if anyone of you girls had similar experience and what caused your bleeding after sex.
 
Hi Rajkonen,

I really feel for you. That must have been very distressing! I have heard of bleeding after intercourse which is very normal as everything is much more sensitive.
It seems that what happened to you was a one off and they seem to be happy enough to let you home to rest. Just keep monitoring the baby's movements. I am sure you will be fine. I have quite a few friends and a work colleague that went into hospital with early bleeds and they were absolutely fine.
Try not to stress out as this will make you feel worse.

Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy.

i have read bleeding after sex can be normal..i had a little bleed when doctor looked couldnt see where it was coming from and just said its one of them things sometimes we just never know ...not much help t us stressing and panicking...hope all is ok take it easy and rest as much as you can xx
 
your cervix can very very sensitive and blood engorged during pregnancy and can bleed if irritated.....also if you have a low laying placenta (which would have shown on your scans) that can also cause bleeding after sex....

sorry your hospital experience was not very nice and they caused you so much worry over what appears to be nothing.
