So many people have told me that spotting the first trimester is normal. Even my midwife told me not to worry unless it is red and i have severe cramps.
But of course i worry.... so has anyone had spotting during their first trimester?
I'm about 7 weeks and have been spotting very light brown (sometimes with mucous) and only when i wipe-- never in my underwear. Last night i saw the tinies speck of a clot-- also brown.
This would have been the days i would have expected my next missed period (and i spotted during my first missed period)
I saw my baby's heartbeat last week and my midwife said everything looked perfect. (she also said the spotting coul have been caused by the transvag ultrasound... but it has lasted several days)
just hoping some of you can relate....
thanks in advance :-)
Re: anyone have spotting the first trimester?
at what i thought was 6 weeks (I am a week ahead now) so it was really 7 weeks, i started light bleeding and brown spotting. i woke up the next morning and there was blood when i wiped...i was so upset thinking i was having a miscarriage. i went to my first doc appt a day early that week and i was able to see the baby and see the hb at 164....after that day, i havent had any spotting...my doc said "the placenta is a complex organ" lol...i just said ok
imo, no matter what type of spotting you have, always see your doc...it is different for everyone
thanks everyone. these posts were so helpful. :-) i guess i will find out next month if i'm going to be spotting around the time my period would have come... maybe i'll just be a "spotter"
hoping to relax and be calm the next 7 months... easier said than done.
