Is it normal? I had some spotting here and there today. I can tell when I wipe that is it discolored but not bright red. Is this normal? I know it is earlier in pregnancy but not sure about now.
Edit for update: DH and I had not had sex recently and I had not had a
pelvic exam. My DH is an ER nurse so he went ahead and called L&D.
We talked for a little bit and it was decided it was best to come on in
to get checked. I was put on the monitors for a bit. LO couldn't stop
moving enough for them to get a good read. They did check me and said
cervix was closed and there was a little blood. Pelvic rest and put my
feet up is what I was told! I was in a wedding Sat. so I was on my feet
all day Friday and Saturday with wedding activities. They did tell me
that he was very low and they could feel him during the exam! That exam was a nightmare...I have never had an issue of my yearly exams hurting....this was pressure like none other!

I had a spot, literally 1 spot, at about 19 weeks. I told the Dr. and they had me come in for an ultrasound. They said they like to do an ultrasound if there is any second trimester bleeding. They didn't seem concerned, just wanted to double check, and everything was fine. I'd def call and see what they want to do but don't be alarmed if they want to check the baby.
I haven't had any experiences with spotting but if I did I would call my doctor immediately - while I know that spotting is often completely normal and healthy I wouldn't feel comfortable with it until I had the chance to discuss it with her.
You should call your doctor just to be safe. Also, if you're Rh negative, you will need a RhoGAM shot. I had spotting early on in my pregnancy and the doctor told me to call if I experienced it again. Everything is probably ok, but it's best just to be sure!
