I had a miscarriage and then got pregnant again. I had some bleeding when I was 5 weeks, and of course I freaked out. It turned out to be a bubble in my placenta, and now I have a heathy 10 day old baby girl.
Way easier said then done, but try to relax b/c stressing out won't help anything. Hopefully the meds will help. Good luck with everything, wishing you a healthy pregnancy!
While bleeding is not considered "normal" in pregnancy, approximately 25% of people will have some spotting and it will totally be fine.
Did you just have sex recently? Your cervix becomes friable, which means that it can bleed if bumped since the blood vessels are now closer to the surface.
If you have cramping or heavier bleeding, or are worried, call your doctor. They can do beta tests to make sure your numbers are still doubling.
One more thing... are you on progesterone? If you are on meds to prevent miscarriage, you need to call them tomorrow and get your levels checked.
Thanks for responding ladies. Not on progesterone. Prescription folic acid and an aspirin regimin is what they gave me.
@colors, thank you for your story. Itll help me try to stay calm until I can talk to a doctor tomorrow.
I'm going to try to get in right away in the morning. I just feel sick to my stomach with nerves now.
I have a close friend who spotted regularly all the way through two of her pregnancies, in fact she took forever to figure out she was pregnant because she thought she kept having her period. It isnt the usual, but it happens.
@mrsreid: I spotted, and went to see my doctor immediately... turns out it was sex, and we were not allowed intercourse for 3 weeks. Never happened again... For any spotting, see your doctor to help you figure out the cause and have the appropriate treatment.
I hope everything is ok! I dont know you but I am really thinking of you, I hope its going to be ok... the biggest thing is: dont stress.
I spotted during my first trimester and my Dr. attributed it to my cervix being sensitive. I'm now 19 weeks and the spotting stopped around 8 or 9 weeks. I would try not to stress:)
Ok, I talked to a nurse practioner this morning and she told me because the spotting stopped and we had sex on Sunday that spotting yesterday was completely normal. I'm a little more calm now.
I have my first appointment on Monday and it cant come soon enough! On that note, what can I expect at my first appointment? I do believe they will be doing an internal ultrasound. At 7 weeks, can I expect to really see anything?
You should be able to see the baby's hearbeat on the screen. When I had mine with this pregnancy it was at 7 weeks and baby looked like a jellybean but we got to hear and see the little heartbeat. When I worked for my OB office, the first visit was usually with the nurse to go over medical history and things like that. Then we always had the moms come back between 10-12 weeks of pregnancy for their first Dr. visit and they had their annual exam at that time too. :) Hope that helps :)
I had zero spotting with my first pregnancy, which I later lost, and some relatively heavy spotting with my second pregnancy, which resulted in my 4 month old son. It started up about 8 hours after sex, so that's what the OB attributed it to. She told me to lay off the intercourse for two weeks, which we did, and it was totally fine. But I'm definitely glad I went in and got checked out.
@mrsreid: Not sure if your OB office has the same type of machine as the one at the office I go to but we always told our OB's to bring in a CD-R and they will put pictures on their for you as well. :) Some offices do and some don't but it doesn't hurt to ask. Just make sure it says CD-R and if they do put your pictures on there, keep taking that one with you to all OB appointments and they will continue to use it and put more pictures on there.
I'm 32 weeks today and I had spotting for a few days in my first trimester, and at times it seemed like more than spotting. It was always brown, but it ultimately went away.
Good luck at your doctor visit!
I am in my first pregnancy, I had spotting at about 6 weeks. I actually thought was my period. Didn't find out was pregnant til 10 weeks along or so. From my understanding a little spotting 1st trimester is pretty normal. I am 25 weeks now
This happened to me at 6 weeks and again at 8. It was a very light pink and everything was ok. I am 31 weeks pregnant right now.
Just call your dr so you can go in and they can to an ultrasound to make sure everything is ok.
It was not until I was pregnant that I learned how common spotting is with people who have totally normal/heathy pregnancies.
I know how scary it is....good luck!
Oh...haha! I see that you have already talked to the dr. Glad they were able to reassure you. I spotted after sex and after my internal exam. So don't be surprised if you spot after you get your internal ultrasound.
I too had spotting earlier in the first trimester, first at 4 weeks, then at 6 and at 8 weeks. Everytime it was very minimal (only noticed when wiping), but still scary since mine was bright red. It's pretty much stopped completely now and baby is still growing strong at 13 weeks.
I did not have spotting but my good friend did and she delivered a healthy baby boy on Monday. Have you recently had sex or had the internal ultrasound?
I spotted and even lost a tiny bit of tissue. The doctor said, even then, I'm most likely still fine. I'll check back on next week when I see the doctor after a course of blood draws, but the nurses/docs seem to think I should be fine.
I have no clue how many weeks I am. Most likely 5-8 ish.
Feel free to PM me later if you want.

Sorry, there are no users yet.
I have very light pink spotting, only when I wipe. Im six weeks pregnant today. Ive had two previous miscarriages- both started the same way. The only reason I have hope is because my doc "figured out what was wrong" and gave me a couple prescriptions to "fix" it.
Has anyone else had this and it turned out ok- the light light pink?
Freaking out here.
