2nd Trimester

Spotting after bathing in hot spring

I'm 15 wks and last night my fiancé and I spent sometime at the hot springs. I'd done some research & was conscious of the fact that extreme heat can be bad for the baby so we decided to just lay in the foot spring which was only 34-36 degrees, so no hotter than a warm bath.

However afterwards when I went to the toilet I noticed some pink spotting so I put panty liner on to monitor it & two hours later it had turned to light brown spotting.

It has stopped this morning but I'm still curious as to see if anyone else had experienced this?

  • Have you had a difficult time passing stool?
    Sex?

    Its rare that heat equivalent to a warm bath would cause issues with your pregnancy.

    Yes I had sex two days prior to the spotting though so I didn't connect the two as a having a possible correlation. I've had no trouble passing stools.
    The brown spotting continued the next day so I went and had things checked out and an ultrasound showed our baby girl actively moving with a healthy heart beat. I'm still spotting today (brown only) so I guess I'll just monitor it. No need to panic now. First time pregnancy is a learning curve.
  • It's important to remember that brown blood is old blood so it's likely you aren't even actively bleeding at this point.
    Light spotting can also be totally normal which I know seems pretty scary when it's happening to you!
