add me to the spotting/bleeding crew....

bhjones1980 · June 2014

Ugh, started spotting yesterday afternoon, and I know it can mean nothing but it is really getting into my head after my CP last month.

Never spotted with DS throughout the whole pregnancy.

Nothing I can do but wait and see.

Ohhh hugs lady!!

Needing some positive energy this way too. Just got in from my morning run and had some blood (not red... Just as if it were the last day of my period) in my underwear. Is this normal at 6 weeks?

MaddScientist · June 2014

That sucks. Hopefully it is nothing.

Boo. I am sorry you are dealing with this. Mine thankfully stopped (for now, anyway) and I hope yours does too.

How heavy, color, how long did it last, for you? not to get all TMI up in here.

The other thing that worries me is I have some mild/moderate cramps, but I have had those on and off for the last two weeks with no spotting so.... no idea

KMac570 · June 2014

I'm sorry you are dealing with this as well! FWIW I spotted with my pregnancy with my son until the day I went into labour. It was a SCH. I hope all turns out well for you - sending positive thoughts your way ((HUG))

jaztastic · June 2014

Sending you big (((Hugs)))!! Hopefully its nothing major

I spotted throughout 1st and 2nd trimesters with LO #1. It was terrifying. Sometimes it was brown, other times it was pink/red. Every time I would call my OB/GYN and they told me to only become concerned if I soaked through a pad within a certain amount of time, or if the spotting/bleeding was accompanied by intense cramping. That never happened. The spotting would eventually go away and just return at random times. My daughter is completely healthy! So, just know that while you may be spotting, it could mean nothing. Try not to panic. Take it easy when you notice you are spotting/bleeding.

cannolioh · June 2014

I'm sorry, I know it is terrifying, but I hope it is nothing.

Jay_Cee · June 2014

I hope it's nothing. Hugs.

lcwed · June 2014

FX it's nothing.

mands1125 · June 2014

FX it's nothing!! I also had some red spotting as well yesterday morning. No cramps and haven't seen a drop since but I hold my breathe every time I go to the bathroom that I don't see more blood. Hang in there. There are quite a few of us going through this!

mishka29 · June 2014

Fx that it's nothing!

kismetjess · June 2014

I didn't spot at all with DD and have had spotting for 3 weeks, every day...with cramps. Hopefully it is nothing! I'm one of those annoying patients that calls my doctor 500 times, but it gives me peace of my mind. Luckily my OB is very accommodating and will usually bring me in if I'm concerned. Doesn't hurt to check in. Hope it's nothing!

freegiraffe · June 2014

FX that it's nothing to worry about!

lizzybean · June 2014

Fingers crossed its nothing!!! I know that spotting can be normal, take it easy. ((hugs))

FlowerPower16 · June 2014

FX crossed it goes away and doesn't come back! Are you able to put your feet up and take it easy today? Keep us posted.

lmhamze · June 2014

FX that it is nothing and it stops!! So sorry!! Thinking of you & hoping for good news!

Nope, working, but most of the day is filled with interviewing canidates for a new position, so at least that is keeping my mind off things.

cls78 · June 2014

Hope everything is ok!

Frommbaby · June 2014

I'm bleeding! But everything is ok. I was even cramping too but ultrasound confirmed everything is fine.

. Good vibes sent your way

lulu783 · June 2014

T&P's to you! I hope you are able to get some rest and take it easy.

agogo1 · June 2014

Sending positive vibes your way. I'm dealing with the same thing--red spotting yesterday, went in for an appointment and my doctor assured me everything was fine. Some brown spotting today but it seems to be clearing up. I'm just terrified that it is going to come back. Dr. Google does not make me feel very confident, so I am trying to remind myself that Dr. Google isn't particularly qualified. It is comforting to know that there are a number of us in this boat, but it sure does suck.

dreemkin84 · June 2014

Hope everything is fine!

chickyclg · June 2014

FX!!
My dr put me on Strict bed rest for the spotting. My spotting stopped and now I can move around the house.

bclove87 · June 2014

Going through the same thing. The doctor tested my blood yesterday and will compare to a blood test tomorrow to make sure my hormone levels are increasing as they should. FX

shaunachris · June 2014

Hope everything works out fine for you - I'm sure it will!

Oem617 · June 2014

FX it's nothing!

HeyStVincent · June 2014

Spotting is really really normal and I don't think it usually means there's anything wrong with the pregnancy. I know that probably doesn't make you feel much better. I will be hoping that the spotting ends soon so you can get some sanity back!

WanderingA · June 2014

Positive thoughts coming your way momma, try not to stress too much. As many other PP's have said, spotting is very normal this early in pregnancy. I have had cramps for almost 2 weeks and I had them with DD as well early on.

Drink lots of water, take it easy, and please let us know how everything turns out!

PlayboyMommy · June 2014

Well I'm on this train now. Had cramps that felt like menstrual cramps and bright red blood. Still having cramping and blood, but not soaking a pad. I've called my OB twice with no call back yet. Trying to distract myself in the meantime. How much is too much? I'm preparing for the worst and hoping for the best.

jaytee16 · June 2014

I hope that it's just your typical, run of the mill (even though I'm sure it's scary) pregnancy spotting and that everything is ok!

Mologna · June 2014

Sorry to hear you're in the same boat with a number of us but I really hope it's nothing! Sure is scary, though. Best of luck!

alleycat39 · June 2014

Sending you (hugs) and hoping this is nothing more than normal early pregnancy bleeding.

PlayboyMommy · June 2014

My fx for everyone here as well! Pregnancy is so stressful! I won't get seen until tomorrow, and I think things have slowed down, so still hoping for the best. Love to everyone.

Yikes, I'm sorry to hear that your OB is so unresponsive.

OmSweetOm · June 2014

I had a red spot last Sunday. One quick drop followed by several days of brown partially clotty (small) spotting for 5 days. One of these days I had cramps so severe I almost took ibuprofen as I was positive it was all over anyway (I've had 3 m/c's). Then I had nothing for a day, followed by similar as you described decent amount of bright red flow onto tissue but never in underwear. None of those weeklong spotting ever made it onto anything but tissue, but it was consistent every single time I used the restroom. I had an u/s yesterday and to my shock found a little heartbeat (and even a second yolk sac but with no hb yet). I cried most days while waiting for my u/s. It's so hard to not know and while it doesn't always spell doom I know full well the 50/50 odds are anything but comforting! Hang in there. I've got my FX for you girl.

PlayboyMommy · June 2014

thank you @OmSweetOm!
I actually want to switch to the midwife practice that's a part of this office. They are far too big and busy now.

@bhjones1980 how are you today?

magsame · June 2014

FX for you. Hope everything is ok!

Nlavender13 · June 2014

Just started spotting tonight. Freaking out but the on call doc said it was all normal and unless it got heavy and really bad cramps not to worry. I am calling my office in the am and hope they can get me in to be seen
