I've spotted through the beginning of all pregnancies and throughout them too. I have a healthy daughter, an early MC at 8w and recently ended a pregnancy for medical reasons. My spotting is due to a friable cervix and none of my loses were attributed to it. Some people just spot or bleed and its "normal" for them. Good luck to you.

@FliegepilzHut: my first OB I was seeing said that transvaginal ultrasounds can cause bleeding due to your cervix being irritated. I hope it's nothing more than that for you!

I had a bunch of pink/bright red/orange blood for about an hour when I was ten weeks pregnant. Went to the ER and everything was fine! (I'm 25 weeks now, and everything is still fine!)

The ER doctor couldn't figure out what it was from, but he said that something like 60% of women experience some bleeding in pregnancy and most of the time there's no clear explanation. When I asked how to tell the difference between "no big deal" bleeding and "oh shit" bleeding, he said that while you can always come in and get checked out, if you're not going through more than one pad an hour, he doesn't get super worried.

I think some people just have grumpy cervixes!

I think the combo of the ultrasound and the coughing could definitely be doing it!

I'm in third tri, but my midwives have told me multiple times that sex and/or coughing and sneezing can cause bleeding. If your cervix is sensitive, I don't think it takes much.

Thinking of you!!

Yes, I had bleeding on and off with both my pregnancies. With the first, it was spotting for most of the first trimester. With this one (19 weeks now), I had heavy bleeding at 8 weeks with no explanation. Then I continued to have brown discharge until 14 weeks. The doctor said he basically looked at my cervix and it bled - just really, really irritable. Good luck!

I had bleeding on and off last year while pregnant and it's been going on again with the latest episode around 24 weeks. Still not sure what mine is related to, since there was no sex before the veering started but baby looks and kick great. Sounds like yours is your cervix

I have bled with all three of my pregnancies, and my youngest will be one tomorrow! I don't know why, but I always bleed at the beginning of my pregnancies.

During my first pregnancy I had some red bleeding, brown discharge, and cramping periodically from weeks 4-8. A triage nurse told me it could be some remnants of what would have been excreted during my period or something to that effect and the doctor wasn't worried about it. LO is now a healthy happy 14 month old.

I had pink/red spotting at 7 weeks. It was fine and I haven't had anything since. 13 weeks right now.

I bled pretty heavily 1 day at 5wks. I sincerely thought I was m/c'ing, but we are 18.5wks now & all's going well. Hope this is nothing problematic for you.

I've had a friable cervix for both pregnancies (LO and now). During my pregnancy with LO, I had some spotting early on. Later, I had a bout of bleeding at 20 weeks. It turned out to be two infections: bv and a yeast infection. I drank Kefir the rest of my pregnancy.

This pregnancy, I still have a friable cervix. I'm taking probiotics at the start which I think makes a huge difference not just for digestion but for my ladybits. I also use lubricant after sex too in order to calm down the bits. DH and I had sex last night. I bled a bit because I knew I was already dry down there. I wiped with LO's wipes and lubed up afterward. No redness or blood since.
