Bleeding After Sex
Vivian, 35, from Nw Mexico asks...
My wife has experienced some brown blood. She went to her OB and did an ultra sound and found out she was seven weeks pregnant and a heart beat was present. She now is experiencing some red blood and is scheduled for a blood test. We had sex about three days before this started happening. Is she in any danger? Is the baby? What is the cause.
Stacy Says...
Bright red blood is dangerous IF it is accompanied by abdominal or lower back pain, severe cramping or clots. If she's not having any of this, most likely the bleeding is from sex. The vagina, cervix and uterus are extrememly sensitive and are engorged with blood and tissues during pregnancy. While sex is extremely pleasurable during early pregnancy, it can cause some bleeding. As long as your wife, or you, are not bothered by it--go for it. The baby is fine and your wife, as long as she isn't having the symptoms I mentioned, is in no danger.
