Spotting last night

TarheelsInNJ

Last night about 3am, I got up to pee and when I wiped I had a few spots of red blood - not bright red, but not brown either. We haven't had sex or anything that could trigger this, so I'm of course freaked out. I had really heavy bleeding at 6 weeks, but it's been smooth sailing since.

I'm going to call my doctor when the office opens, but has anyone else had minor spotting that turned out okay?

I haven't but my older sister who just had her baby 2 months ago did. It turned out to just be a slight tear from stress. She just had to stay in bed for a week she was fine. ?Good luck hun.

I feel like I spotted off and on through most of my 1st and 2nd tri with DS. They never really found a cause but everything turned out fine. He was born at 35 weeks but it was not linked to the bleeding. GL and keep us updated!

In my first pregnancy, I had spotting at 5 weeks and then again at 10 weeks.  Everything was fine!  Still call your doctor to be sure, though.

I had bright red spotting at 14 weeks - turned out I had a yeast infection (didn't even know - I had no symptoms!) and my cervix was extremely irritated. It cleared up after about 4 days.

Your doc should be able to make sure it's coming from the outside and not from an open cervix. They may even do an u/s to put your mind at ease.

Try not to panic - I hope the doc gives you news that lets you relax!
