Is It Safe To Have Sex In Pregnancy?
I am currently 5 weeks pregnant. Two days ago, my husband and I had sex which was followed by bleeding. The next day, I continued to spot throughout the day which eventually led to light cramping and heavier bleeding. It has almost been 48 hours and the bleeding seems to have lightened up. Should I be concerned?

Hello dear,
I understand your concern.
In my opinion the cause of bleeding should be evaluated.
Usually the intercourse is not advisable during the first trimester.
The bleeding can be due to hormonal abnormalities like progesterone insufficiency, thyroid abnormalities, miscarriage,cervical bleeding etc.
So I suggest you to consult doctor as you might need ultrasound to know the status of pregnancy.Avoid stress,intercourse.
Take good rest.
Once the cause is treated it might subside.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
