Spotting after exercise?? UPDATE

myndihallberg

Hey ladies,
I need some advice here. I have an appointment tomorrow morning. I am in the 500 mile club, which is you walk 500 miles. I was hoping I would become pregnant soon so I decided not to run but walk. I'm 4w1d and after walking two miles I had some cramping and noticed some dark spotting when I got home. Has anyone had this and what did it mean for you and baby?

***UPDATE***
I had my first visit this morning and all is normal and doing great. Feel so much better after speaking with the doctor!! Thanks again everyone.

I'm a body builder and lift regularly. I haven't stopped doing that or doing cardio, no spotting here from either of those. Sex does do it for me though. I would maybe take it easy or ask your OB. I tend to be paranoid though.

Also a lifter here, but take nightly walks with the family when weather permits. Haven't had any issues with spotting from exercise, though as PP said I believe sex will (as it did previously with DD, have not DTD since my BFP, too tired). I would mention it to your doc, wouldn't be too concerned as spotting throughout pregnancy can be completely normal.

Dark, as in brownish? If so, that's old blood and it could be implantation bleeding. With my last pregnancy, I got really sick one day and was violently throwing up (sorry, tmi) and the next day I started spotting brown blood. My OB said it could be leftover blood from implantation that got forced out from my vomiting. I imagine it could be the same with exercise. I would just try to take it easy for now and if it continues and you experience cramping or red blood, call your doctor.

I haven't spotted, but I did notice today after my workout I felt sore/crampy. Nothing crazy, just mild, and it didn't last long. I would go with your gut but also definitely talk to your doctor about it since you're going1

I haven't had any spotting after exercise, but sometimes I do have cramping.

Thank you for all the feedback! The spotting was just when I wiped when I got home and it has since stopped so I'm clinging to the good. I will let you all know after my appointment tomorrow!
