Is it around the time that you would normally get your period? That happened to me at 9 weeks and all was fine. I know it's hard but try not to stress. Take it easy and stay hydrated.
Internal Exam Pap Smear Sex Straining for a bowel movement
If you've done all or one of the above it could be the reason you are spotting. As long as it doesn't pick up or isn't accompanied by cramping you should be ok. If you need reassurance call your OB's help line and ask them what you should do. If they want you to come in for a doppler check or an ultrasound then the on call nurse will tell you. I know its hard not to worry, but you'll drive yourself nuts. Go ahead and call. If you really want to go in you can ask them. They will tell you if they think you should.
Hubby and I had not had sex prior to the episode but PrimRose, you mentioned straining for a bowel movement..um YES! I have been doing that alot, been constipated lately until Mom made her oatmeal cookies and no bakes but before that, I was straining..I havent had any more episodes..I live in Ohio and we are in the middle of a blizzard warning so there would be no way I could get into the doctor, I would probably have to go to the hospital. Praying it doesn't happen again..Thanks everyone!

No problem. Do you have some colace? Its pg safe and makes going to the restroom #2 so much easier. I would get in the habit of taking 3 pills daily (instructions on the bottle), get some benefiber or metamucil to put in your water. If I skip a day of this regimen my #2 experience is a doozy.
Re: Spotted twice today..almost 10 wks
