?Brown spotting... like pinkish brown... yesterday and today. ?Is this normal? It is freaking me out and my doc. is on vacation... I am debating on just going to the hospital and asking them to tell me everything is okay but I don't want to overreact. ?
Re: spotting
Brown/pinkish spotting happens a lot and can be totally normal. Can you at least call your doctor's office and ask them what they think? Even if your doctor is on vacation, he/she should have someone filling in for him/her.
I wouldn't go to the ER unless it's severe or accompanied by cramping.
the office is closed...?
Wow...to be honest, that would make me really uneasy having that as my doctor's office. What happens if you go in labor and they're on vacation???
Good call, yeah you would think... she is in a big clinic with a smaller office of her own and they are closed till monday no other OBGYN's. The voice message says if it's an emergency call 911 or go to the hospital... ? I hate this.?
Me too. I would find a new ob/gyn if there is no one you can contact on a legitimate business day like today. I can't imagine what it would be like on weekends/holiday. I've been having spotting/bleeding the past week. My doctor even took me in on Christmas Eve for an emergency u/s.
I can't ease your fears on the spotting front because I know how scary it is. I had spotting a week ago that turned into full on bleeding and I'm still ok. I have a subchorionic hematoma that is causing it. But, spotting can be caused by a lot of completely normal things.
try not to overreact.
My sister told me that when she experienced spotting during her pregnancy they asked her to bring her pads as proof to the appointment.
If it's just a little bit I wouldn't worry too much, esp because it could be implantation spotting. If you've had sex recently, that could also be a factor because your cervix is softening and more prone to little bleeds.
If it's more like the last day of your period, I wouldn't worry but if it's more like the start of your period, get it checked out.
Thanks so much for asking this question. I have had the same type of bleeding the past two days and it's light.
