i'm 8 weeks pregnant and i've been spotting for a week now (Brownish). My doctor said not to worry. But yesterday my husband and I had sex and this morning i noticed some red blood....not heavy at all...no cramping...very light. Is it ok to have sex? Is this spotting normal?? anyone in the same boat here???

Your cervix is sensative during pregnancy the bleeding after sex was most likely due to this. Talk to your Dr. about what you should and shouldn't be doing, when I had spotting they told me to not have sex and to take it easy just to be safe, so talk to your Dr.

I guess I didn't fully answer your question... light bleeding occurs in 20 to 30% of all pregnancies out of this percentage 50% of them will miscarry and the other 50% will carry healthy babies. It could signal something is wrong but most of the time it is indetermined and the pregnancy goes on to term. If heavy bleeding or cramping begin see a Dr. Or if you pass any clots.
