Brief Answer:
no harm to fetus; slight bleeding normal.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM.

I understand your concerns.

Slight bleeding after intercourse during pregnancy is common.
The tiny blood vessels of pelvis become friable during pregnancy due to hormonal changes.
Also, there is increased blood supply to pelvis.

I would also like to tell you that this will not cause any harm to fetus.
The slight bleeding may continue upto 3 days.

However, you must keep your doctor informed about this.

Do not worry.

Hope this helps.

Take care.
Thanks.
