It's so hard not to worry but everything turned out fine with me. I also had a few episodes of spotting throughout (usually after a BM) and bled from 35-40 weeks. I think some women are just more sensitive. I hope everything goes well for you! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-your-early-pregnancy-spotting/page/2#post-1621900 Thu, 08 May 2014 15:21:38 +0000 NerdBee 1621900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: no advice.

But, if you get really worried, go to urgent care just for peace of mind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-your-early-pregnancy-spotting/page/2#post-1621889 Thu, 08 May 2014 15:18:24 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1621889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CatchAFallingStar: six weeks, no gushing blood, both of my doctors are on vacation and no one else will see me unless I'm gushing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-your-early-pregnancy-spotting/page/2#post-1621886 Thu, 08 May 2014 15:17:30 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 1621886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: How far along are you? From what I've read, it's totally normal unless blood is gushing and there's heavy cramping. Don't worry. But, if you are worried, call your doctor. I've called mine about 100 times since I found out I was pregnant, which was 5 days ago. HA! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-your-early-pregnancy-spotting/page/2#post-1621700 Thu, 08 May 2014 14:18:52 +0000 birdofafeather 1621700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: thinking of you! My GF had spotting with her 2nd and possible placenta previa that's corrected itself. She's 26 weeks now and all is good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-your-early-pregnancy-spotting#post-1621574 Thu, 08 May 2014 13:30:18 +0000 Mrs.Panda 1621574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started spotting brown at about 5-6 weeks and that progressed to bright red with small clots at times. It would go between brown and red. I got an emergency ultrasound at 6ish weeks and was found to have a small subchorionic hemorrhage. It resolved by my next US about a week or two later but I kept bleeding. Baby looked great though. It suddenly stopped at around 10 weeks with modified bed rest. I'm almost 16 weeks now and everything looks great. Baby is so far a healthy girl :)</p> <p>ETA I was even able to return to my job as a hospital nurse a few weeks ago with no problems aside from the regular pains of nursing while pregnant! I just make sure to not lift any patients or anything else heavy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-your-early-pregnancy-spotting#post-1621412 Thu, 08 May 2014 12:15:48 +0000 travellingbee 1621412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also wanted to add that I had LOTS of cramping too and it was all normal. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-your-early-pregnancy-spotting#post-1621404 Thu, 08 May 2014 12:04:18 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1621404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: I've been taking it easy. I don't think I did anything crazy yesterday but my butt will be on my couch all night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-your-early-pregnancy-spotting#post-1621379 Thu, 08 May 2014 11:50:25 +0000 littlek 1621379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: Can you take it easy today?

Also brown/pink tinged discharge around 6 weeks. It freaked me out. Dr said this was normal. I am currently 10 weeks and saw happy bb on the u/s this AM at Dr office.<br /> With my first mc at 6 weeks I had bright red blood and cramping/stabbing pain. FX and hugs to you </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-your-early-pregnancy-spotting#post-1621264 Thu, 08 May 2014 11:19:51 +0000 coopsmama 1621264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had bright red spotting at about 5 weeks with baby # 1 and he's currently napping. :) I'm just about 32 weeks pregnant with baby #2 and I had brown/pink/red spotting from weeks 10-14, and no one was e Ed able to give me a reason. </p> <p>Try not to worry mama, though I know it's incredibly hard. :heart: I hope it stops soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-your-early-pregnancy-spotting#post-1621254 Thu, 08 May 2014 11:15:36 +0000 MamaMoose 1621254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: I spotted off and on for my entire pregnancy with M. Sometimes red, sometimes pink, sometimes brown. I had a low lying placenta early on, and I apparently have a sensitive cervix. Despite a very drama filled prengnancy she was born healthy and happy at 40+1. As long as the bleeding isn't heavy and it's not accompanied by cramping try not to worry too much (I know that's hard!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-your-early-pregnancy-spotting#post-1621252 Thu, 08 May 2014 11:13:33 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1621252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had red spotting at 6 weeks &amp; 8 weeks &amp; there was absolutely nothing wrong at all. I now have a happy almost 8 month old crawling around my house &amp; testing out all the different shrieking sounds she can make. Mine was also accompanied by cramping. I am sure everything is okay. Hugs! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-your-early-pregnancy-spotting#post-1621244 Thu, 08 May 2014 11:11:30 +0000 junebugmama 1621244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went to NYC and I did a lot of walking, and we had sex. The next morning had some dark blood. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-your-early-pregnancy-spotting#post-1621239 Thu, 08 May 2014 11:10:26 +0000 travellingbee 1621239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I spotted brown and peach-ish colored for a couple of days around 6 weeks. We were out of the country and it scared the poop out of me. I thought I was miscarrying. :( BUT I got home a couple days later and we did the ultrasound and everything was great. Just "burrowing" as others have said. I spotted again for a day after doing some yoga at 9 weeks. Then I didn't spot again after that for the rest of the pregnancy. HTH Best wishes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-your-early-pregnancy-spotting#post-1621179 Thu, 08 May 2014 10:48:27 +0000 pinkcupcake 1621179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: me! I spotted a ton, starting from the day after I got my bfp (so probably around 11 dpo?). Sometimes it was brown, sometimes red, heavier at times, sometimes even accompanied by cramps. It was such a scary and stressful experience. I has betas and ultrasounds done- they never could figure out what was causing it (dr just said it was a friable cervix). It was basically like this throughout the entire first trimester. </p> <p>Happy ending, though - that 2yo is now sleeping upstairs, after keeping up for half the night just because she wanted "mommy song." Siiiiigh. :) hang in there, and pls try not to worry too much (I know, MUCH easier said than done). I've realized now that spotting during pregnancy is super common and does not always mean a negative outcome. Hugs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-your-early-pregnancy-spotting#post-1621154 Thu, 08 May 2014 10:34:41 +0000 chopsuey 1621154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had lots of red spotting/bleeding.

It was nothing. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-your-early-pregnancy-spotting#post-1621139 Thu, 08 May 2014 10:26:26 +0000 mfa_lady 1621139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: Thinking of you, lady. :heart: :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-your-early-pregnancy-spotting#post-1621125 Thu, 08 May 2014 10:20:41 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1621125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh. Still spotting. Still brown.<br /> Called the nurse who said it's probably fine. Let me know if in 48 hours you're still bleeding.<br /> Didn't make me feel better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-your-early-pregnancy-spotting#post-1621020 Thu, 08 May 2014 09:40:18 +0000 citymouse 1621020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had spotting my first trimester up until about 10 weeks. It was in my mucous, and underwear. Like streaks of pinkish brown lines in the mucous or a drop of pinkish brown blood in my underwear. It was every few days. I went in for an early US (demanded it really) and we were able to see the babe's HB and they checked and made sure my cervix was closed. I refused a new Pap Smear, and only did one more intervaginal US. Healthy babe! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-your-early-pregnancy-spotting#post-1621019 Thu, 08 May 2014 09:40:05 +0000 jape14 1621019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: I had spotting the day after my bfp (so around 4 weeks), then nothing for a week, then about 7-10 days of mostly brown spotting (but a few episodes of redder) during week 5-6ish. I was so paranoid - I took a weeks estimator test EVERY DAY until I had an OB appointment. (Hi, I'm a crazy person. Also this was over Christmas, couldn't get an appointment because I was out of town, and I was staying with my ILs, so I had to maintain my sanity somehow.) </p> <p>When I finally got into my OB for an appointment, they couldn't find any real source - no SCH - besides a somewhat friable cervix. Everything looked fine. I have had maybe two isolated spotting incidents since then - both in the first trimester, both just when I wiped, following sex or a "challenging" bathroom trip. I'm now 24+2 and everything is fine now! </p> <p>Try not to worry - and try to stay off Google if you can! thinking good thoughts for you :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-your-early-pregnancy-spotting#post-1621013 Thu, 08 May 2014 09:38:47 +0000 mlm2934 1621013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>with this pregnancy brown/red spotting started at 5.5 weeks and continued entire first tri with a climatic bleeding ER episode at 14 weeks.

One of my spotting episodes came after a particularly...sluggish...trip to the bathroom. Someone here told me that straining can cause spotting sometimes, since you are working those muscles when you go. Just a thought. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-your-early-pregnancy-spotting#post-1620958 Thu, 08 May 2014 09:19:09 +0000 Cole 1620958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I spotted brown and pink off and on from four weeks to maybe 6 weeks. The first time I noticed it was the day after dtd but it continued even after self imposed pelvic rest. Everything is fine now at almost 18 weeks! </p> <p>A good friend had spotting early on and her beta levels weren't even close to doubling and she has a healthy baby now. My on said at least a third of healthy pregnancies have some mild spotting and things go fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-your-early-pregnancy-spotting#post-1620947 Thu, 08 May 2014 09:15:14 +0000 LovelyPlum 1620947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a lot of spotting into my second trimester with LO. I had been on 200 mg of progesterone, and it was increased to 400 mg. Some was Brown, some was red, some caused by an irritable cervix, some caused by we don't know what. But my good outcome is hanging out in my arms right now :)</p> <p>I know that you said your doc is on vacation, but can you call the office and be seen by someone else? My doctor wanted to see me for bleeding, just to make sure everything was OK.</p> <p>Hugs, Mama :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-your-early-pregnancy-spotting#post-1620936 Thu, 08 May 2014 09:12:20 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1620936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is cheering me up a bit.
