11 weeks and spotting for 5 days. Advice!!

in Pregnant after 35
Hi ladies! I am currently 11 weeks pregnant with my second baby. On Tuesday (5 days ago) u had a small amount of pinkish/red spotting/discharge when I wiped. It has been very sporadic since. Not every time and ONLY when I wipe. I have had mild cramping and back pain BUT I had both those things with my last pregnancy. I just don't know what to think. I had a miscarriage before my daughter. The spotting started and within 2-3 days I was full on bleeding like a period.

I'm trying not to freak out. I called my dr office Thursday and they said to up my water, take it easy and to come in if it continued into next week.

Anyone else experienced this and for this many days in a row?

Thanks in advance.

    I'm 30 weeks now but had spotting around that time. It would happen sporadically for a 4-6 week period - always very light. Usually it triggered when I had difficult bowel movement - straining is not good. I know sex can also trigger it. It eventually went away. But if your really concerned I'd go visit the doctor.

    I had spotting from week 6 until week 28. They said I had a polyp on my cervix. Definitely keep your doctor informed and follow their guidance.

    Thanks you guys! It's still happening today. Again very sporadically and not bright red blood. Like I said more of a pinkish red discharge. I will call in the morning and hope they will see me. Ultimately I would just like to know if bahy is ok. I would have to think a miscarriage would have advanced by now and I would have bleeding and discomfort. At least that was my experience with my first miscarriage. Man being pregnant is stressful. Lol

    I had it around that time as well. My doctor told me no sex for two weeks after the last time I bled. It eventually went away (before my second trimester) . My doctor also told me not to worry unless it was a lot of blood and bright red in color.

    All turned out to be good. Went to see my doc for a hb check aND it was loud aND strong. I'm now 15 weeks and the bleeding resolved a few weeks ago.
