Concerned-possibly scared

amandabrooke81

I'm basically 14 wks/ 2nd tri but had some light spotting this morning...

Should I wait to contact the OBGYN or is this serious enough to merit a call today?

__________________________

Update Monday, 11/8 ~noonish

I waited to call the OB because I had no other spotting nor any other signs (no cramping) and convinced myself it was nothing. Today the nurse said I need to come in ASAP so we're on our way in an hour...I'll keep you posted. Thanks everyone!

...As if all the stuff on the internet didn't scare me enough (the first 8 pages I Googled re: "spotting during second trimester"), now the nurse has me slightly concerned about the urgency & she said I'd have to do bloodwork (blehck).

Update Monday, post-OB visit

Thank God!

The baby is fine and I'm fine (or rather, will be completely after a round of antibiotics). The Dr ordered an ultrasound so he could measure/hear/etc. so it was really neat to see LO. Unfortunately the tech couldn't really tell this early (14 wks) but she thought it might be a boy just didn't really know for sure. I'm just thankful it's a healthy baby!

Also, FWIW the OB said it's not "normal" to have bleeding/spotting in the 2nd or 3rd trimesters (well, unless it occurs post-intercourse) BUT that it was okay that I waited to call since I didn't have any additional bleeding nor did I have cramps. Before the ultrasound I was beating myself up thinking about how I shouldn't have waited to call but thankfully everything's okay

I would go ahead and call. It could be nothing but I wouldn't want to risk it. I had some very light spotting early on and it turned out to be nothing. Saying a prayer for you that everything is ok! Keep us posted!

I would call for peace of mind. I bet it's ok but definitely scary. Is the spotting red or pink? Or brown and light??? If it's the first definitely call. I had some slight brown spotting with Avery. Nurses attributed it to us being in Hawaii, snorkeling and doing the deed. Rest up today. Keep your feet up and drink lots of water. Love ya!

 If it was brown/pink I might wait and see, but I hope it's all done right now. I had spotting for a few days at 17 weeks-I know how scary that is. Hope everything is okay!

I would definitely call just to ease my mind at least.

This.  I bled for a week at 10 weeks...definitely scary!  My dr said it was usually ok if it wasn't bright red and there was no cramping involved.

I would call to be on the safe side.  I spotted several times during my pregnancy.

I'm sorry! Google is the worst!

I was freaked out at 17 weeks-it turned out to be some old bleeding, but it a clot on my placenta that was probably there since it formed. I had to have two extra ultrasounds to make sure it didn't increase in size,  but the baby looked perfect.  Within a couple weeks, the clot resolved itself entirely and disappeared. Hopefully whatever is going on will be a similarly minor issue that will go away , if anything at all. Hang in there!
