1st Trimester

Spotting

I'm 8 weeks today, and just used the bathroom. There was a little bit of pink on tp when I wiped. Should I be concerned? I have not had an ultrasound yet.

Re: Spotting

  • Spotting can be normal. You should get an ultrasound at your first visit. If you’re worried I would call and see what your provider says.

  • Spotting in early pregnancy can be unsettling, but it’s actually quite common and doesn’t always indicate a problem. Light pink spotting could be caused by things like implantation, cervical sensitivity, or hormone changes.

    Since you haven’t had your first ultrasound yet, it’s understandable to feel extra anxious. Keep an eye on it—if the spotting gets heavier, is accompanied by cramping, or you’re feeling very worried, don’t hesitate to reach out to your doctor. They can provide reassurance or check things out if needed. For now, try to rest and take care of yourself!
