Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion the cause of spotting in pregnancy can be due to hormonal abnormalities like thyroid ,progesterone insufficiency,bleeding from cervix ,any abnormal pregnancy etc.Usually intercourse is avoided in first 3 months of pregnancy to prevent bleeding from cervix as the cervix is soft and highly vascular.I suggest you to get wn ultrasound done to know the pregnancy status and get hormonal evaluation done.Avoid physical strain and intercourse.Take rest.Dont worry it will subside.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
