light bleeding (maybe TMI)

Well i hit 35/35 yesterday and then all of a sudden this morning I had some very light pinkish blood when i wiped. Nothing bright red and no contractions or anything else that i've noticed. Just wondering if I should be concerned enough to call the OB or if this is just normal. I've read some things on the internet that say its pretty normal and could just be that I am dehydrated and needs some rest. So i have been drinking up. Just thought I would post thing here and see if anyone else has had this and if so what the doctor said.

 P.S. The baby is still moving around like normal.

Re: light bleeding (maybe TMI)

  • I would keep an eye on it and maybe give your OB a call during office hours.  If its not normal for you or you haven't had an internal exam or sex in the past few days, you could have an infection or something.  Also, make sure its coming from where you think it is.  Could be a hemorrhoid.  I wouldn't necessarily worry about your baby, but your OB may want you in to check for a UTI, yeast infection or BV just to be safe.  Good luck.  Hope its nothing!
    I give up trying to get a ticker.  I have a DD that is 2.5 years old and is awesome.  Maybe I'll add a quote to distinguish myself.  Hmmm.  How about...

  • Are you still having bleeding or was it just when you wiped? If I personally had any blood I would worry and call the doctor,but I worry a lot and had absolutely no bleeding the entire pregnancy. They have also told me to call for any type of bleeding. Good luck!

  • Well I called the OB and they had me explain what exactly happened in more detail and once I did, they didn't seem to concerned. They said that if it were bright red, more abundant (like a light period) or accompanied by consistent cramping then to call back right away. It seems to have gone away for now actually, but it was definitely coming from spot #1 not #2. So I guess I keep an eye on it and hope for the best. Im sure the next appointment they will test infections and what not.

    Maybe I was just being a little paranoid, but I am glad that I called. I am just hoping that LO doesn't try to make an early appearance.

  • I don't know. I would call your OB just in case it isn't normal. Because to me it doesn't sound right. But that could also be because I have been told if I have any bleeding that I have to go to the emergency room right away.
