Bleeding 5 months pregnant while intimate?

Question

hi,
last month the vessels in my cervix was ruptured, and they found a small millimeter sized hemmorrhage on my womb, but saw as no problems. My midwife said to keep sexual activity up, because its good for when it comes time for having the baby. Well, my husband and I have tried twice now, and each time i bleed quite a bit of brown blood,(which is better than red!) and the edges start to hurt really bad, like they are really raw and lose lubrication. My husband does not go in deep or anything, because of my cervix, but cant do it for very long because it hurts too much. My midwife said its normal to bleed sometimes now that i have a tiny hemmorrhage, but i only do when we are intimate.
Does anyone know what the cause of this is? Did the vessels in the vagina get ruptured as well because it hurts alot? and is it best to just not do it until after the baby is born?

Answer 1

I think what could be going on with you, is that your uterus perhaps is contracting a little after intercourse. This is common, after orgasm. So this possibly, could be the reason why you are bleeding a little.
Scince you are in the 5 months of your pregnancy, you might consider putting your sexual activity on hold right now. Though for you it seems a serious issue, keep in mind that bleeding/spotting can mean several things, such as a threatened miscarriage. Usually, threatened miscarriaged come with pain and heavy bleeds. But non the less ..better safe then sorry at this point, your pregnancy is still young, and fragile.
I think this is most likely bleeding from excertion due to uterine contractions ..But keep in mind, that you are pregnant and have to be really careful, and not over do things ..and that includes sex, exercise, heavy lifting, and long periods standing ...

But if it's realy bad then enquire about lession on the cervix , which normally occours after sex. Oh yeah just to be on the safe side book an appoitment with a GOOD DOCTOR, because sometimes a midwife might come across to you like they know much but they don't know anything!!

Hope this helps and I wish you a very safe delivery with God's blessings in the next 4 months to come :)

I know that it is supposed to be uncomfortable for some persons (it is for me) but I really don't think that you should be in sooooooooo much pain and bleeding everytime you have intercourse. It really is supposed to help you with the birth of the child but I think something is definitely wrong in your situation especially if your husband is not fully penetrating, you need to seek professional advice other than your midwife. I would refrain from intercourse until I got a second opinion. Good Luck!

DO more research at MEDMD.com or another medical site. I don't think HER advice sounds right at ALL. A rupture in a vein may compromise the placenta or drain some of the babys blood. I am not trying to scare you sweeie , do NOT have sex again until you get another opinion from a doctor.

Answer 4

First of all...a midwife is NOT a doctor!! When you are experiencing any pain she KNOWS you r to visit your OB/GYN!!!
He could be passing an infection to you. Stop this and go to the doc!! Sex is okay when there are no other complications!!!
A midwife helps during the BIRTHING PROCESS!!
Any bleeding during the pregnancy is something to worry about!! this is NOT normal at 5 months!!

Answer 5

bleeding is normal after intercourse but i would see an ob-gyn about the hemmorrhage on your womb that sounds serious usually when somethinge like that happens they would tell you to stop having intercourse and go on bedrest until after the baby is born if it happens again after sex go to the hopsital
good luck and God bless

Answer 6

I don't trust the advice of that midwife at all.That just does not sound right, AT ALL! For several reasons. Please see an obstetrician!

Answer 7

I would contact your midwife and let her know what is happening.
