Bleeding/spotting after sex?

I'm 38 weeks pregnant and had sex with my partner about 2hrs ago. Went to the toilet after all was fine, just went for a wee and there was blood. Not a lot but a bit more than spotting. First time I've bled at all throughout. Should I be concerned? Is it just because my cervix has been irritated?

Hoping I’m not tot...

3rd trimester and worried about prolapse

I'm currently 37 weeks and I have noticed a bulge when trying to do perineal massage. Has anyone had something similar at this stage? This is my 2nd pregnancy and I hoped to be able to have another vaginal birth but not sure if c section is a safer option.
