Spotting and Green Poo?

bradshawmama_2019

Hey guys, I’m six weeks and had some light pink spotting and nothing more yet. It really scares me since this is my first pregnancy and don’t really know what to expect. Should I call my doctor? I haven’t had my initial appointment yet and it’s scheduled when I hit my 8 week mark. But thinking maybe this is some late implantation bleeding? No cramping or pain as of yet. Advice?

Also can anyone else relate to very green poo? I thought maybe it was because I have been eating differently since finding out I was pregnant. But I’m not eating a crazy amount of green veggies to justify it being that color all of the sudden. Would love suggestions on what if anything needs to be done, or insight if you’ve experienced this.

I know it can be nerve-wracking!  I had spotting on and off for the first two trimesters.  There are many different things that can cause spotting in early pregnancy. If you are really worried, call your doctor.  They may want you to come in for some tests or they may just give you some additional symptoms to watch out for. Wishing you the best of luck.

Spotting can happen and everything can still be fine. I know it’s scary. Try to think positive thoughts. As for the green 💩, are you taking any iron supplements? My doc has me on them and it makes it green! Lol

Yes I am! My prenatal vitamin doesn’t have iron, so I thought it would be smart to take them since it’s essential for the first few weeks especially. I’m glad to hear I’m not alone! 😂
