Spotting during...

Bowel movements?  I have noticed that the two times I have spotted its been right after a BM and it is definitely vaginal blood.  It is a few drops of bright red, then a little brown the next day (which I am guessing is old stuff that didn't get out?) Sorry for all that info but its freaking me out a little.  I do notice this pattern, and after last time my blood work was normal so I am trying to just go with it.  TIA

    I'm sorry, I don't have an answer for you but are you straining? I would check with your Dr.'s office just in case.

  • I had this with DS until 19w and mine was just a sensitive cervix from straining.

  • I probably won't be much help either, but I am having my second and already freaking out. I am only 7 weeks and this pregnancy is nothing like my first.. My fiance' is the one feeling everything and craving everything weird.  I was sick all the time and forget sleep.  No spotting with her though. Try not to stress too much over it but it is good to check with your Doctor on the safe side.  For some women it may be normal and for others it may not be.  Hope everything turns out blessed and relieved.

     


  • Yes!  That's when I notice my spotting - I believe it's like PP said, sensitive cervix.  I'm seeing my doctor on Monday so I will be asking him.  From what I have read, if you usually spot after Paps or vaginal exams you might have a sensitive cervix.  I always spot after I have an exam with my gyno.
