    So I spotted a little bit today, maybe 3 drops worth so I came home from work and rested. I had minor, almost unnoticeable cramps for about 15 minutes.  After a few hours, I thought all was well but I just went to the bathroom and (sorry if TMI) a lot of clots came out. No blood on own it's own, like none on my underwear. Just bloody mucus, like I get on a first day of a period (but not as heavy, like this would just not be a pad worth). I checked the mucus and theres nothing in there, no pieces or fleshy anything. I have a small SCH, diagnosed yesterday (saw babys HB for second time yesterday too), so maybe it is that? Anyone else have this mucus only happen, or is it typically just blood? I am not sure whether to go to the ER... it seems odd theres not blood itself, just the mucus.

    Some spotting is considered nornal. It just depends on the amount and whether it is accompanied with cramping.

  • Totally normal to spot, though it is scary. My nurse just said take it easy (rest) and drink lots of water.

  • I spotted when my period would have been due (4 weeks) and then again at 6 weeks and 8 weeks. Each time it was brown colored, nothing red. Everyone is different, so definitely mention it to your OB, but in my case I was told it was normal and nothing to worry about.
  • *lurking* @liamsmommy09 I am so sad to see this update. 
  • Well crap...I've been feeling kind of off all day, and took a dump earlier and there was bright red when I wiped. There was also some visible red in the toilet, but I had just had red peppers at lunch and chalked it up to that (TMI, sorry). Went to the bathroom again a bit ago and there was nothing in my underwear but pink mucus when I wiped. Considering my complete loss of symptoms in the last week, I'm kind of concerned now (not alarmed yet, but definitely concerned). I know some spotting is normal, but usually the brown stuff, and this was very not brown. DH and I also haven't had sex since Saturday so it isn't like that stimulated anything today. Planning to call my OB in the morning, unless something changes overnight, and I'm trying to keep myself at peace until then but this is a new one for me and definitely unwelcome.
  • @ki1244 I’m sorry you are going through this but it could very well be from your bowel movement. That is not uncommon. Take it easy and definitely call your dr and hopefully they’ll let you come in for peace of mind.
  • @ki1244 have you been in for any US? Did the say anything about a SCH. Apparently they can develop at anytime. Hopefully it's nothing and just a one time thing. 
  • @ki1244 Hugs to you. FWIW, your bowel movement could definitely have caused that. I had bright red bleeding after a bowel movement often in the first trimester.

    @ki1244, was coming to echo @emeraldcity603. I had a medium size subchorionic hemorrhage develop sometime between 11 and 12 weeks with the twins (I remember distinctly because the bleed happened on the night before Christmas Eve, the night before I was going to tell my husband it was twins). I was sitting on the edge of the tub, giving my older his bath, when all of a sudden I felt like I had wet myself. Stood up and I was literally soaked to the knees by a gush of bright red blood. I went to the downstairs bathroom while my husband finished my son’s bath and quickly got him into bed and I filled the toilet bowl with blood. It took about 5 hours to taper off to more of consistent spotting rather than full bleeding but I continued to actively spot/bleed for another month before it cleared.

    It was terrifying, but the big difference was that there was little or no cramping associated with the bleed (that was one of the first questions my OB asked me). SCHs aren’t great, but they’re usually manageable and also reasonably common. I actually have another one (much smaller this time) with this pregnancy that’s located right above my cervix, which is why I’ve seen on and off spotting. Blood color is also more indicative of how long it took for it to make its way out of the uterus and vagina - brown blood is just slower to clear. My doctor has always seemed more concerned about my pain/cramping level (I have yet to make it through a pregnancy without bleeding). And for what it’s worth, I had literally zero symptoms other than being tired with both my previous pregnancies - my symptoms (other than having to pee in the middle of the night) have largely or completely evaporated at this point this time around as well.

    All of this is to say don’t panic yet. I would absolutely give your doctor a call (as I’m sure you’ve already done), but I’m hopeful for you that it’s something like this and not something more serious. Fingers crossed for you and keep us updated.

    Thanks gals. I didn't think much of it after the BM (tmi, no straining involved thanks to my usual dose of Benefiber, but still, know that can happen) but when I wiped pink a couple hours later, that was when my red flags went up. But nothing overnight, and this morning everything feels heavy (like that feeling the first day of a period, if that makes sense?) but nothing in my underwear. That's a new sensation, so again, not a bad thing by itself but coupled with everything else, I'm probably being hypervigilant.

    I had a US at 7 weeks (no mention of anything abnormal then) but nothing since, and the nurse brushed me off last week when I said I had some FTM over-concern about my symptoms disappearing right at the 9-week mark. Next appointment is a week from today, not for a US, just to actually meet my OB. Still going to call the nurse's line when it goes live, and I'm sure they'll tell me it's nothing to worry about, but I want that in my file anyway, in case, God forbid, it becomes pertinent to know down the road. But thank you for the support! This is all just new and I hate consulting Dr Google if I don't need to.

    Edit to update: just got a call back from the nurse, and they're having me come in for a quick visit. She did ask about pain/cramping (nothing out of the ordinary there) and if it could have been a hemorrhoid (if it is, that's news to me). I mentioned the heavy feeling, which is probably neither here nor there. She also referenced my US record to note that I didn't have anything show up then besides a baby. She said it's not worth a panic, but is worth a visit to check on heart tones, and she's checking with my OB to make sure she has no other directives yet. DH is at an eye doctor appointment now, so as soon as he's done there, he wants to go in with me (if I have tendencies of a FTM, he's waaaaay worse as a FTD). I'm 10+2 so using the Doppler may still be an adventure and I'm psyching myself up not to freak out if they can't find anything, but that's where we are at the moment. Just praying now that everything is where it's supposed to be.
  • @ki1244 I'm glad you get to go in for some peace of mind and hope everything turns out just fine for you! Crossing my fingers.
