Should I avoid vigerous intercourse or increasing my exercise >during the first trimester? Teri, I would be careful. When I was at 10 weeks, we had sex and I experienced some bleeding. It was red so I panicked. I got an U/S and everything was OK. It went away. Then, my OBGYN told me it was OK to exercise. I tried to do it right by making an appointment w/ the gym fitness director to make sure I didnt do anything that would cause problems. I did some arms on the machines and 20 minutes lightly on the eliptical. That night, I had tremendous bleeding and ended up in the ER. I thought I lost the babies (twins). I had more bleeding than the heaviest period, passed huge blood clots and a lot of cramping. It turns out that the placenta wasn't totally attached, so the exercise caused it to tear. I dont want to see anyone else go through something like this. If you have any cramping while exercising, stop. If you see any blood, don't exercise at all. As for the sex, sometimes you can see blood from the cervix being irritated, that is what they thought it was with me at first. I would cut down your workouts to less rigorous. of course, your doctor can better answer these questions. Good luck~
