Spotting and workouts

Im a fitness instructor and i I teach a few days a week. I’ve noticed that for the past week, I’m 5w 6d, that I spot light pink or brown the days that I teach or go running. Has anyone else had this? I have modified and am not working out at a high intensity. TIA

    I’ve been spotting like this for the last month. Last pregnancy I spotted as well and i think I just have a friable cervix. Definitely mention it to your OB

    This would be a good question to go in the questions thread so that we don't clutter the board :smile:

    My OB told me to take a break on working out for a week when I had spotting and instructed me to buy a heart rate monitor and avoid exceeding 140 bpm for the rest of my first pregnancy.

    Definitely call your OB.

    I’d check in with your provider for sure. Spotting can mean nothing, but it can also be a signal

    I'm a fitness trainer. Light to moderate exercise (walking), yoga and body weight excercises help to stop and or reduce my spotting, cramping and pain. I'm 6weeks today.

    @lindseywit I had this when i was pregnant with DD last year, usually when I went for a run. When I asked my OB she told me it sometimes happened because of pressure on the cervix, and it was totally normal and wouldn’t hurt anything. She said I could continue running and exercising (encouraged it actually!), just told me to expect the spotting every time. (Such a relief as I did not want to give up running/working out!!) I would double check with your doctor, but it should be fine :)
