Red small streak of blood ,

Hi all , just wondering if I'm reading to much into it & should try not to stress I am 8 weeks pregnant & 3 days ago I had 1 spot of pink blood the size of a pin head barely noticble unless you study the toilet paper like I do & then last night I had the same again & then when I went back to the toilet I had a long streak the size of a strand of hair but hasn't been anything since & I've had no cramping & I still feel pregnant I do have a small heamarhoid so I'm not sure if it came from that as it does bleed occasionally , although it wasn't acting up at that time , we had our ultrasound on Thursday & saw our chunky monkey & a healthy heartbeat of 154bpm which we heard . I'm a ftm & petrified every second of the day as I've had two mc any experiences or reassurance would be helpful . thanks

  • Breathe. Spotting can be very normal in the first trimester, although I'm not sure I would even call this spotting. Find a book to read about all the crazy things your body is going to go through. There's a thread a few pages back about book suggestions.

  • When in doubt call the doc. I had spotting weeks 13-18 with my first and they did restrict my exercise because I had a low placenta but I had an otherwise very healthy pregnancy and healthy baby boy!
  • And by the way, I suggest the doc only for reassurance. I was totally freaked when it happened to me, but it is fairly common. Sending good thoughts! I know it's scary.
  • I had a pink spot the size of a freckle yesterday and then nothing since. I am also a FTM and freak out over everything. I called my OB and they said that it can be totally normal, have you inxreased your physical activity recently? They said that can contribute to spotting.
