1st Trimester

5ish weeks pregnant and spotting

Hi guys,

I’m in my first pregnancy at 35 y/o and wondering if spotting is ok. It’s been going on since right after I got my first positive test last Monday the 22nd without any cramping but of course I’m worried and nervous. Not too much in my pants, just when I use the restroom and wipe. Anyone else have this? Not seeing many clots but the occasional small one here and there. And I mean very small, nothing like a period. Sorry for the TMI but any advice helps.

  • First things first, have you called your dr and told them? Spotting is very common, and can mean absolutely nothing to you are have a miscarriage. I've had spotting before. The thing is, no one here can tell you what's going on. That is why I asked if you had spoken with your dr. For now, I would say take it easy, and try to focus on being calm. I know it's easier said than done. I'm sorry you're spotting.

  • Call your providers and see what they say.  I spotted on and off with my first up until 10 weeks or so.  Literally had a flare up the evening we were about to tell FIL at his birthday party... 😬 But it was totally fine.  My nurse at the time said it's okay as long as there's nothing heavy like a period, or cramping etc.  But best to let your own care team know, regardless.

  • Hope everything works out ok for you.  I would call your doctor and see if they can see you.  They will be able to tell you if things are ok!
