1st Trimester

Period like cramping and light pink only when I wipe

I'm so sorry I know this might seem gross, but I have noticed as soon as my husband and I found out we were expecting our first baby, I began seeing a light pink color discharge ONLY when I wipe. I have also been having mild cramping everyday for the past two weeks. The spotting is only every other 2-3 days or so. I talked to the nurse and I have an ultrasound this tuesday, but I'm starting to get really nervous. Has anyone else had the same and had a healthy baby?

Re: Period like cramping and light pink only when I wipe

  • I had spotting and cramping for three days during week 4- had my ultrasound during week 6 after I had HCG levels drawn.  The heartbeat was so small and fast:) 

    I was told as long as it was not bright red blood with clots and/or more than period cramps then your okay but still needs to be addressed.  Take it easy on yourself- drink lots of water and put your feet up. 

  • Cramping is totally normal and if you are only spotting I wouldn't worry too badly. A miscarriage will end up being a heavy period at this point so unless your spotting gets worse just take it easy and relax. Good luck !

    I had light pink in my discharge and I even freaked out but that was like a week ago so now I am trying to relax.

  • I have had light pink and some brown spotting off and on since I found out I was pregnant. I am 9 wks tomorrow and this past week I had bright red blood when I wiped and then some in the toilet. I went to get another ultrasound (our third since we found out we are pregnant) this past Friday and everything is fine...tonight I had a bowel movement and their was more bright red blood. but none since Friday other then tonight. Not sure what is causing it but baby is fine with strong heart beat. I wouldn't worry about it! I have experienced a miscarriage at 5 wks and even that early on there were clumps that came out. so as long as you don't have that you should be fine!
  • I had that as well with this pregnancy. Doctor said it is nothing to worry about.

    Doctor said, If you are not soaking through a pad in an hour or two, then it's nothing to worry about. 

    But as always, call your doctor and ask if it will make you feel better.

    Sounds like hemroids (sp) but I'm not a doctor... I had those with my last pregnancy, though...

  • that's what I was thinking too..but why would it be coming out my front too when I wipe? I am trying to get the results from my dr...but they have had systems down all day.
  • thanks so much for all your posts. Sadly, we had our ultrasound yesterday and they said they don't think the pregnancy will continue and that I will eventually miscarry. They didn't see any signs of a baby growing and i believe they think i have a blighted ovum. I have some more blood tests tomorrow to see if our HCG levels are rising and then another ultrasound and more blood tests next wednesday. I'm hoping they are wrong, but i don't want to get my hopes up because I'm so heart broken.
