What would you do? (light spotting)

in Pregnant after a Loss

This evening I've been having light pink spotting when I wipe. I'm still having all of my pregnancy symptoms and I'm not really having any cramping. I know spotting is common in early pregnancy and most of the time is normal. And I know I'm the millionth person to write this post but I can't seem to keep that knot of fear out of my chest :(

I have my first u/s appt on Monday. Should I just keep that appointment since the spotting is only slight and not bright or heavy? Or should I call tomorrow and see if they can get me in ASAP?

A part of me (and my mother too) is telling me to just relax, it's fine. Just wait till Monday. The other part is about to have a total heart attack :-/

UPDATE: I called the doctor and the nurse told me what we thought she'd say. It's normal especially since it's slight and stopped. Call back if I should get any bright red spotting, and we will see you at the u/s on Monday. Man, it's going to be a long weekend.

    I spotted last Friday so I know the panic you're feeling!  But, if it helps, I went in today and had a beautiful beating heart, and the doctor said spotting is very common in early pregnancy.

     If it would make you feel better, it doesn't hurt to give your doctor a call tomorrow, even if it's just to hear her say everything is likely fine.

     Good luck on your u/s Monday!

    I think you will feel better if you call tomorrow, so there's no reason not to. Try to stay calm and be reassured that most likely it's nothing to be worried about. Best wishes and keep us updated!

    Thanks so much to you all for the reassuring words. They help so much. For the moment all spotting has totally stopped so I'm feeling better. I'm going to call the doctor tomorrow who will most likely tell me what I already know and what you all have said too (to stay calm, it's probably totally fine and will see you Monday ;-)

    kdidders- I love your story. I hope to be in that same spot on Monday!

    With the weekend coming up, I would give your OB a call just to be safe and hopefully ease your mind a bit.

    FWIW I spotted/bled for an entire week starting at 6 weeks.  After 3 days they checked my hcg and after 5 they did an u/s.  A cause was never found but everything turned out just fine.

    Always call. It's good for them to know, and they may decide that you should come in or are okay with you waiting. It never hurts and better the docs have more info than they need then not enough.

    I would call -- not necessarily even to get seen, but it's good for them to know about anyway, and they may be able to set your mind at rest.
