Lightly spotting in third tri

Hey Ladies,
Is anyone experiencing very light, minimal spotting?? I'm ~31 weeks and noticed some very light pink spotting last night and this morning. I have no pain or discomfort whatsoever, but it freaked me out a little b/c I did have spotting in my first trimester. I tried to contact my docs office but of course they are closed...I do have a growth scan on Monday, so I will mention it then to the doctor....

Re: Lightly spotting in third tri
Have you had sex within the past couple days? That can cause spotting at any time during pregnancy.
If not, I would try to get ahold of the on call doctor/midwife. The office should have an answering service that can connect you to them (and if not...get a new doc! what if you go into labor on the weekend?)
got this on babycenter. just thought of it with the pink part.
Call your practitioner immediately if you have more than four contractions in an hour or any other signs of preterm labor: an increase in vaginal discharge or a change in the type of discharge (if it becomes watery, mucus-like, or bloody ? even if it's pink or just tinged with blood); abdominal pain or menstrual-like cramping; an increase in pressure in the pelvic area; or low back pain, especially if you didn't have it before.
I agree. There has to be someone you can speak to. I would not wait until Monday. Better safe than sorry. Take care.
I would call and try to speak to the on call dr. I had some spotting around 23 weeks that turned out to be the result of a polyp on my cervix I had irritated straining during a bm. It turned out ok, but I was terrified because I too had spotted during my first tri.
I think it is better to be safe and have it checked out.
