Spotting possible TMI

danandkam

So this morning and just a few minutes ago, I had some thick stringy cervical mucus that was browntinged, like old blood. It wasn't a lot, just mostly when I wiped. I have not been cramping or having any other scary symptoms.

Last night, I did have to strain some with a bowel movement and I know sometimes that can cause this. Should it still be happening this long after the bowel movement? Has this happened to you? I have a call in to my doctor to be safe. I am 13 weeks 2 days by the way and I have a doppler and was able to find the baby's heartbeat pretty quickly.

You did the right thing calling your doc. I read in a pregnancy book just today if there is any blood...even without cramping...to definitely call. I'm sure your LO is fine tho! I'm glad you could hear the heartbeat for reassurance !
Keep us posted!

During first tri I tend to spot after most poops. I told my OB the other day and she said its nothing to worry about. Letting yours know is not a bad idea either just to be on the safe side.
