I'm 20 weeks today and it takes everything I have to not pull my hair out waiting for viability.</p> <p>Are you sure the spotting was not from the BM? Probably a silly question since I'm sure you double-check wiped the vaginal rather than back area, but I've noticed some pink spotting when I have a BM lately but I think I have mild hemorrhoids because even though I'll have some on the paper when I first wipe front to back, there's never anything there when I wipe just the vaginal area to double check. And I've had some issues "finishing" my BMs so I'm sure that the straining has been creating some issues back there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pink-spotting-22-weeks-need-some-reassurance#post-298369 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 11:57:15 +0000 tequiero21 298369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i had some spotting in late first trimester. they never found the source - doc wanted me to come in and check it out just in case. but i went on to have healthy twins! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pink-spotting-22-weeks-need-some-reassurance#post-298368 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 11:57:13 +0000 Goldilocks1107 298368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just wanted to send positive thoughts your way (I remember your struggles from the WB days . . .). I'm sure everything is fine, and if the nurse isn't concerned, I wouldn't be either (easier said than done, I know!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pink-spotting-22-weeks-need-some-reassurance#post-298360 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 11:53:16 +0000 hellobeeboston 298360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Green Grass: i have had a few spotting issues through this pregnancy (I'm 35 weeks now)... i had spotting early, like 7 weeks, then, around 20, then 24 weeks I had spotting, one time was brown, and the other time was pink.... I was treating a yeast infection one of the times, and the monistat turned out to be irritating to my cervix. The other time I had a YI as well. I freaked of course... I ended up going in just to be safe. I have a SUPER sensitive cervix, so the docs/midwives have told me, so even just having the yeast infection &amp; not treating it was causing some spotting. I have read that a BM can irritate as well.... Just keep an eye on it &amp; call if it will make you feel better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pink-spotting-22-weeks-need-some-reassurance#post-298325 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 11:34:27 +0000 tororojo 298325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yikes, that's scary! I think some spotting is really common, though--they ask me about it every time I go in for an appointment. As long as it's not heavy like a period, the odds are in your favor that's it's nothing to worry about! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pink-spotting-22-weeks-need-some-reassurance#post-298310 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 11:26:48 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 298310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok, I called. She says if it continues to come in, otherwise, it's ok. Nothing puts my mind at ease though since I want to know WHY!</p> <p>But I do like hearing stories of others who have had the same issue and it was fine. That helps some.</p> <p>I'm not a big stresser, but these last 2 weeks waiting for viability just amp up the anxiety a little! (And having a blogger I follow have her water break at 23 weeks...she lost the baby. I just can't imagine!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pink-spotting-22-weeks-need-some-reassurance#post-298300 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 11:20:11 +0000 T.H.O.U. 298300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No reason to stress but I've had it as well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pink-spotting-22-weeks-need-some-reassurance#post-298297 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 11:17:34 +0000 Mrsbells 298297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It may be nothing to worry about, but just call your doctor and try to and see your doctor just so you can have peace of mind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pink-spotting-22-weeks-need-some-reassurance#post-298294 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 11:16:29 +0000 Jumpingjacks 298294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had minor spotting that was pink as well. It was at about 17 weeks. Happened about every 2 - 3 days for around 2 weeks. It was pink at first, and towards the end of the two weeks, on one day it was actually red. Then on the last day of it, I passed a very small clot and all the spotting stopped. I had called my midwives when it happened more than once and they sent me for an ultrasound. I ended up having two ultrasounds over the two weeks and both showed no issues whatsoever and it was no problem at all.</p> <p>My suggestion is if you are worried, that's reason enough to call your doc. and get an ultrasound. There is nothing better than peace of mind. If it makes you feel better, know that my spotting was absolutely nothing bad at all. It seems spotting can often be totally unexplained and just one of those things that happens sometimes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pink-spotting-22-weeks-need-some-reassurance#post-298290 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 11:14:40 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 298290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd call the OB just to put your mind at ease. No need to go around stressing if you don't have to! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pink-spotting-22-weeks-need-some-reassurance#post-298283 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 11:08:34 +0000 littlek 298283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd call your doctor. I think any spotting past your 1st trimester warrants a phone call. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pink-spotting-22-weeks-need-some-reassurance#post-298281 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 11:05:50 +0000 stargal 298281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>this happened to me a bunch of times during the 2nd and 3rd trimester after i would have a bm (sometimes wouldnt happen until hours later) its perfectly normal just irritating your cervix. i called my doctor just to make sure though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pink-spotting-22-weeks-need-some-reassurance#post-298273 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 10:59:57 +0000 MamaMoose 298273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Go ahead and call your OB. I'm 30 weeks and have had plenty of spotting through out my whole pregnancy. It has never been anything more than just my sensitive cervix. But your doc will always want to know about any bleeding in the second or third trimester just to be safe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pink-spotting-22-weeks-need-some-reassurance#post-298270 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 10:57:39 +0000 Running Elley 298270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with @chopsuey119. But I'd call the doctor just in case- it's better to be safe! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pink-spotting-22-weeks-need-some-reassurance#post-298260 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 10:53:31 +0000 chopsuey 298260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know the cervix is really sensitive when you're pregnant.. Stress, sex, lots of different things can cause it.<br /> I would call your ob just in case? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pink-spotting-22-weeks-need-some-reassurance#post-298226 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 10:38:07 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 298226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This morning I had some light pink spotting when I went to the bathroom. (I wiped like 8 times just to see if it'd go away and although it got lighter, it was still there.) I also had a BM and may've pushed a little hard, but still it's never happened before. </p> <p>There wasn't any the second time I went to the bathroom.</p> <p>I haven't had any spotting in a couple of months and even then, it wasn't pink. I'm kind of freaking out, but mostly think it's nothing. Even so, it's ruining my day! </p> <p>I wasn't planning on going in to the doctor unless it continues through the afternoon. What do you think and have you had a minor spotting incident that meant nothing? </p>
