I just found out I'm pregnant and have been spotting.. I haven't been to the doctor yet, and was wondering how normal it is?? Please help.

    I had lots of red bleeding during my pregnancy from week 7 - 20ish weeks. I would not say bleeding is normal, but it does happen.

    I had spotting in my first trimester. My OB told me as long as its not bright red or a flow like a period (along with cramping) it should be ok. I would call your OB and let them know. They may want to see you sooner than later. GL

    I would call your doctor, but I had spotting in the first trimester with my first two pregnancies. Are you cramping? Cramping + spotting isn't a great sign (although I had it with my 2nd and it turned out okay). Good luck! I'm sure it's fine :)

    I spotted all the time until about 15 weeks. It was usually within a day of having sex but not always. It was never very much though - almost barely noticable but of course enough to freak me out. I usually called the dr and I went in and they checked the heartbeat once or twice and another time did an ultrasound to see if they could find anything that would be causing it (they didn't ever find a cause). The other times chalked it up to sex. I won't give you medical advice but I don't think it's a huge problem unless you're soaking a pad or something. When in doubt, call your doctor!

    lurking...I spotted in the beginnig of both of my healthy pregnancies.  If it makes you feel any better, when I miscarried, it was more than just spotting (came out of nowhere) and was bright red.  GL sweetheart!

    It can happen and things be fine. I had spotting between weeks 6-7, and again around week 13.  Both times I called the doctor and they had me come in for an u/s to check things out.

    I had it too and it freaked me out also..I would contact your OB just to be safe but spotting is very common. Mine was pinkish and showed up after intercourse, it lasted for about a month. HTH!
