I assume they were related. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/very-light-spotting#post-1471418 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 20:50:12 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1471418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: how are you doing btw? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/very-light-spotting#post-1469415 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 12:08:37 +0000 LovelyPlum 1469415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: I agree, I would call just to at least let them know what's going on. I had some second tri spotting caused by a split in my perineum, and it was irritated by constipation and sex. My doctor gave me some cream to heal it, but it still bleeds sometimes. Even if they don't bring you in, I would think this is the kind of thing that your doctor would want to know about. Hope all is well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/very-light-spotting#post-1468136 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 21:10:11 +0000 spaniellove 1468136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@junebugmama: In my case the yeast actually irritated my cervix to the point that I had gushes of blood and ended up in triage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/very-light-spotting#post-1467906 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 19:45:52 +0000 junebugmama 1467906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Spotting after going to bathroom and after sex is very normal. You shouldn't need an internal check for something like that, but you can always call to get reassurance if you would like. </p> <p>Now if you think that you have infection, like yeast, getting a culture would make sense. However, something like yeast, wouldn't actually cause the spotting. These would be 2 separate issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/very-light-spotting#post-1467841 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 19:19:00 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1467841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would talk to them even if it's just to discuss what you need to do to prevent it from continuing or getting worse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/very-light-spotting#post-1467721 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 18:37:52 +0000 spaniellove 1467721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: In that case I would definitely try to get checked out. I kept telling myself it was normal for things to look a little different in pregnancy but apparently not that different! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/very-light-spotting#post-1467720 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 18:37:40 +0000 mlm2934 1467720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't be too concerned at all, but I think any spotting in the 2nd tri warrants a call to your doctor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/very-light-spotting#post-1467713 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 18:35:36 +0000 pui 1467713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: Hmmm I have had some suspicions I may have an infection because I have had some itching and somewhat questionable discharge the last few days... So maybe that is why it seems to have been happening more often this past week or so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/very-light-spotting#post-1467712 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 18:35:33 +0000 littlek 1467712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd call your OB, better safe than sorry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/very-light-spotting#post-1467708 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 18:33:46 +0000 deactivated_account 1467708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no idea, but I hope its all okay! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/very-light-spotting#post-1467700 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 18:30:05 +0000 spaniellove 1467700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You should talk to your OB and get an internal check to be sure, but your cervix might be irritated ("friable"). I consistently had spotting after sex and sometimes after straining and it turned out my cervix has been friable all along. I also have a low-lying placenta which doesn't help things, but it was reassuring to get some answers. At some point they told me I had a yeast infection that was making everything worse and when I treated it most of the spotting stopped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/very-light-spotting#post-1467697 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 18:28:56 +0000 pinkcupcake 1467697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I spotted off and on throughout my entire pregnancy - sometimes it was red blood, other times pink or brown. No real reason except I had a friable/sensitive cervix... the rest of my pregnancy was healthy and now I have a 2yo. I wouldn't worry too much, but it might be good to give your DR a call. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/very-light-spotting#post-1467690 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 18:25:27 +0000 pui 1467690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 15w3d and I've had some incidents of spotting.</p> <p>First time was after some constipation. I wiped and had 3 small dots of bright red blood. Nothing after that. This was about a month ago now.</p> <p>Twice after having sex I also saw small speckles of red blood. It also amounted to nothing.</p> <p>Today after again going to the bathroom I have some bright red spots. I think it's more than before, but still a very very tiny amount. It has also gone away.</p> <p>All these incidents were at least days apart. After the first two incidents I heard the heartbeat for the first time (at 14w6d) and everything was normal.</p> <p>Should I be concerned about this? </p>
