No: It is common for some women to bleed after intercourse. Minor trauma from the act of intercourse can cause a small amount of bleeding from the external genitalia, vagina or cervix. If it is painless, then it is likely from the cervix. If it persists, then you should seek care for a vaginal exam.

Post coital bleeding: This not normal, it may be due to infection, irritation, or even early signs of cancer. This should be evaluated promptly.
