Woke up this morning and saw traces of blood in my discharge (tmi,sorry). It looked red to me, but there was barely any there. No clotting or anything like that, just specks. I'm almost 6 wks, terrified of m/c - should I call my doctor or is this normal?
Thanks in advance...
Re: Terrified - should I call my doc?
I've had spotting off and on. I haven't passed any clots and none of it is accompanied by cramps or sharp pains. I called my doc and they said that happens for some people in the first tri.
Call your doc for peace of mind...
If that was it I would not call. If there is more bright red flow not just in your discharge I would call. And if there is any cramping DEFINITELY call. Spotting is really normal throughout pregnancies. Spotting is really normal after sex too. Could be left over blood trickling out from implantation or something. Try to not worry yet.
I had the exact same thing at the exact same time as you and it was implantation bleeding (hung around my cervix for a while before coming out apparently).
Every situation is different though and I would call the doc to let them know.

I don't think anyone here can tell you what your doc's office would say. I'd call them, even if it is to just keep them in the loop. When it happened to me, my doc had me come in for an u/s just to make 100% sure we were ok.
Call for your own peace of mind.
I had some similar spotting at 9 weeks and they told me to come in. When I got there it turned to a full on gush for several minutes, but fortunately everything turned out okay. I was SO glad though that I was already at the hospital when that happened and not at home.
Also, if you're Rh negative, you might need a Rhogam shot depending on the amount of spotting/bleeding. Better to be safe than sorry.
