Specializes in Fertility Medicine

Spotting: In the first trimester is really common, and in young women things are fine 90-95% of the time. Intercourse is also famous for stirring up a little cervical bleeding in pregnant women. I'd not be alarm but keep an eye on it, if it continues or worsen call you OB. Good wishes.
