Is It Safe To Have Spotting After Sex In Pregnancy?
I m 23 weeks pregnant. 2 weeks ago I had bleeding after sex I then had an ultrasound done that showed a low lying placenta with a blood clot/bruise on it. MY doctor said this can take about 4 weeks to heal and advised rest. I m experiencing a little lower abdominal pain more like stabbing right now. Is this something I should worry about?

Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Low lying placenta is likely to cause bleeding after intercourse.
It will heal on its own if there is no further intercourse.
Lower abdominal pain which is stabbing in nature should be evaluated by your doctor.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
