in 2nd Trimester

Today for the first time, I found moderate amount brown/pink (spotting) on the TP after I went...soooooo

I know spotting is normal but even now at 13w1d?  Here is a lil background if it helps:  I feel a pinch down low in my abd/pelvis that comes and goes, diff from the cramping I feel in my lower abd day to day.  I just started weaning off prometrium last Friday.

I am going to call my OB but wanted to get your feedback too please seeing as how they are closed for lunch...trying not to stress out, but coming close to crying.

    If it was a BM then yes, even at 13 weeks spotting is normal.  I would bring this to your doctors attention since you are still being weaned off of the prometrium just to be safe.

    Call your doctor! Blood and cramping can never be good! It can be not harmful but it still can't be good!

    Call your doctor immediately.  However, I will say that spotting is normal for some women around this time. 

    I spotted at 11 + weeks.  I soaked a pantyliner with bright red blood.  I know it can be unnerving but when in doubt, head out to the ER or contact the doctor "on call" for your practice.

    ...Or it could be nothing.  Don't freak out about it.  Just relax your body and mind.  Contact your doctor.  Even though they're closed for lunch, the hour or so when the phones are unmanned will not likely be the end-of-the-world drama that some women make it out to be.

    I've had several spotting episodes and a handful of bright red bleeding (sometimes with, sometimes without clots) and so far, all is well.  No one seems to be able to tell me why and baby has always been fine, but it's totally scary.

    I hope that everything is ok - calling your doc and having them check things out is the best and most reassuring thing you can do.

    Crap, the office closes at noon on Fridays.  So I sent the Doc a page.  Will update in future post.

    Think good thoughts, happy thoughts!

    Try and stay clam but it is important to go to the Dr. I had a similiar experience last week at 15 weeks I had blood on my tp, it really freaked me out because I hadn't had any spotting before so I went to emergency, turns out nothing is wrong with the baby but they found two things that I had no clue about I had a kidney/bladder infection that I had no symptoms from, but it can be easily cleared up with antibiotics. And I'm RH neg so after some antibiotics and a shot I was on my way home with a little treat to make completely sure everything with the little one was ok I had an ultrasound and got to take a sneak peak at my LO flipping around Big Smile
