I started bleeding (red) only during/after BM at 5 weeks. Ultrasound showed a subchorionic bleed (uterine bleeding). I was put on reduced activites, and pelvic rest (no sex). I also have a very friable (easily bleeds) cervix. Although the bleed stopped showing up on u/s after 19 weeks, I have continued to have the same red bleeding (though now only about 2 times a week) throughout the pregnancy. I am now at 31 weeks, and the baby is doing just great. I would definitely talk to your doctor about it. Chances are, there is no major threat to the pregnancy, but it would be good to know WHAT the cause is, in case there are any interventions needed. Sometimes, it is just the cervix that bleeds easily in pregnancy and can be irritated by the pressure of a BM, or sex. Good luck, Elizabeth
