I have a bit of a doctor-phobia, but I guess that I should get over that soon or it is going to be a long next 31 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-should-i-start-to-worry-wrt-spotting#post-1241517 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 12:28:42 +0000 LovelyPlum 1241517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would definitely call! I had some early bleeding, and things turned out to be OK. But with that amount of blood (or really, anytime you're unsure), I think it is FAR better to call and it be nothing than not call and it be something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-should-i-start-to-worry-wrt-spotting#post-1241491 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 12:21:12 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1241491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With that amount of bleeding, you should never hesitate to call. It could be nothing, but it's not worth the risking any harm to your baby because it already stopped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-should-i-start-to-worry-wrt-spotting#post-1241400 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 11:59:08 +0000 Adira 1241400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would call! It's always better to be safe than sorry! It's probably nothing to be worried about, but they'll want to check you anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-should-i-start-to-worry-wrt-spotting#post-1241380 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 11:55:51 +0000 septca 1241380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I absolutely think you should call. I had quite a bit of spotting during my health pregnancy, but I know I felt much better once I saw DD on the u/s and had my MW tell me how common it is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-should-i-start-to-worry-wrt-spotting#post-1241370 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 11:53:58 +0000 kentuckygirl 1241370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It may not be anything to worry about, but I would call. I had heavy spotting/light bleeding yesterday. They had me come in today for an ultrasound. Turns out I have a partial placenta previa, which means my placenta is partially covering my cervix. I need to be more cautious with my activity level, no heavy lifting, and no intercourse. I am glad I went and found out how to try and prevent bleeding in the future. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-should-i-start-to-worry-wrt-spotting#post-1241363 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 11:52:28 +0000 Greentea 1241363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had bright red bleeding (and quite a bit) at 12 weeks with LO. I was worried and the ob on call said "bleeding can be a normal symptom in 25percent of healthy pregnancies." I went in anyway and got to see DD dancing on an ultrasound :) My own ob, a more serious type, said she preferred to say, "bleeding can occur without consequence in 25percent of healthy pregnancies." I am all for calling if you think you should or if it will make you feel better. Calling can't hurt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-should-i-start-to-worry-wrt-spotting#post-1241350 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 11:50:02 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 1241350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would call just to be safe. Hope everything is ok! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-should-i-start-to-worry-wrt-spotting#post-1241340 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 11:46:59 +0000 MamaMoose 1241340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would DEFINITELY call with that much blood. You may have a sub chronic hemorrage that needs to be monitored. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-should-i-start-to-worry-wrt-spotting#post-1241330 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 11:43:37 +0000 irishmama 1241330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On Saturday morning, I had a difficult bowel movement. When I was wiping, there was a significant amount of vaginal bleeding (sorry, tmi, but the toilet paper looked like I had wiped on day 1 or 2 of my period, and there was blood in the toilet bowl). We were travelling out of state with some friends for the weekend, so I did not call my doctor because I wouldn't have been able to go in for a check anyways. I had some brown blood in my panties later in the day, but no more red blood, no cramping or pain, and nothing on Sunday. I'm wondering if I should call my doctor today now that I am back at home? My husband thinks I should, but I know that spotting can be pretty common. It seemed like a lot of blood at first, but there has been nothing since then, so I'm just really not sure how much I should be worried. </p>
