A member asked:

Is light spotting only after sex or after pap smear at six weeks pregnant normal? it's stops and only happens again at these times, no cramping.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably normal: light spotting in these situations is pretty normal. if you have any more blood than usual (ie when not pregnant, in these same scenarios) then you need to discuss with your OB.
