Spot Bleeding after physical exertion?

hendsa01

hi! I was hoping someone could put my mind at ease. I am 10w pregnant. Just had a very physically demanding 2 days. Hubs and I hosted a party with about 50 people at our house. For the few days leading up the party I've been on my feet all day long, cleaning, doing yard work etc. last night and into this morning I've experienced spot bleeding-darker red/brownish when I wipe. Could this be a result from the past few day's physical exertion? My doctors office is closed and I'm not feeling panicky enough to go to the emergency room. I never had this type of bleeding with my first. Thank you!!

I don't think it's anything to be alarmed by, unless you have heavy bleeding and cramping. I work in an ER and after a very physically demanding night of work I also had some brown discharge and spotting. When I got in touch with the nurse at the OB office, I asked if it was because of how hard I pushed myself the night before and she said that sometimes women just have some dark discharge and spotting that has nothing to do with physical exertion. She said some women run marathons throughout their pregnancies and it's perfectly fine. That calmed my nerves, but I did try to take it easy when possible. Having said that, there is absolutely nothing "wrong" with checking in with your OB office when they open, it's their job to hear out your concerns and make decisions from there. Try to relax today if you can

My spotting/bleeding (going on daily for almost 4wks straight now) always gets worse after exercise, any heavy housework, or prolonged standing, etc. Baby had a nice strong HB last Monday, so I try not to stress.
