Mrs Hoover.. I think that everything is ok as long as ur not cramping and having pains. I know plenty of women that have spotted and everything was fine with the baby.

Try not to worry so much. Stress is not good for the baby. I know that it is hard to not worry but u need to try not to worry.

I will be thinking and praying for u hun.

Ok.... still spotting, still freaking!!! Appt next Tuesday and an u/s to confirm hb. Contacted doctor again.... still not concerned by the red blood I am seeing. It seems the worst after a bowel movement. I am not having any painful cramping, and the flow isn't heavy, just a little when I wipe. I so wish I could just get a little reassurance thru my brain, so I can relax a bit and enjoy my weekend, instead of thinking about the worst. I know I am my own worst enemy, and if my doc isn't concerned then I shouldn't be either, but wow..... and to top it off, my symptoms disappeared today.... no nausea anyway. You would think that would actually be a good thing, hahaha!! Thanks again for all your help!!!

Thanks a bunch.... I am still kind of apprehensive.... I guess I expected more of an explanation from Dr Q. The way I am trying to stay positive is by telling myself that since I don't have a heavy flow or major cramps, that I am ok and things are going along just fine. I hate being such a worry wart, and there are so many new things going on with my body. My Husband keeps trying to tell me to be cool, if something is wrong, I will know it..... that doesn't really help. It just doesn't seem normal in my mind to be bleeding while pregnant, but I have to believe that my doctor didn't get an education for nothing =)

Thanks again

OHHH in my message to Mrs Hoover I said "I called him and he would always take a lot" I meant he would "take a look". LOL sorry I get confused so easily these days. You had me thinking WTH did I do.

I had this exact same thing. I had brown spotting from 6wks to 12wks. Occassionaly some red spots after a BM. my RE never seemed concerned either but every time it was red I called him and he would always take a lot. I had a bleed around my cervix which he said is completely normal and showed me on an ultrasound where all the blood was coming from. It went away after 12weeks but those were the most nerve racking times I have gone through espically after 4 miscarriages. I am 27 weeks now so hang in there. if it is just spotting you should be ok. They told me if it was a lot of red or clots that would be for some concern.

If you really want to know what it is from ask for an ultrasound so he can show you, just tell him you would feel better knowing what or where it was from.

Congrats and sticky glue

I had spotting with my first bby. It was what they call implantion. I had it for the first three months always around the time I should have had af. I was scared everytime I spotted. I is normal to be concered, and if you ever feel as tho your doc is not being as helpful, then maybe remind them that this is your first and you need more of their support. I had to tell my dr that and after I did he was the great est man. Very sweet and met all my needs. Good luck with everything, and COGRATS!! Hope this helped in some way..

Doc,spotting in 6th week...

Wed, 07 May 2008 16:54:50 -0500

Hi Doc,

I come in here a lot and read and research, but rarely post, however I am growing a little concerned. I am 6 weeks along, and have already had an u/s confirming it is in my uterus, with another scheduled for next week to confirm heartbeat. Last Saturday, I had some minor spotting, brown tinged, and it didn't bother me. Sunday late night, I spotted again, brown tinged, but an hour or so later bright red after a bowel movement. No bad cramps or steady flow, but bright red none the less. I had an appointment with my doc yesterday morning (Monday) and I expressed my concern. He didn't seem worried about it so I calmed down. Well last night, I spotted again, bright red, and again this morning after a bowel movement. All the research I have done says spotting is normal, but call my doc if it is bright red.... I have no abnormal pain or cramps, no steady flow, just spotting when I wipe. Can I relax a little bit? Am I worrying over nothing? My doc seems to think so. I am 35 and this is my first, so I don't know what is normal. My mind just goes crazy every time I see blood, and I am so afraid of a miscarriage. I have waited my whole life for this blessing to happen. Sorry if I sound frantic, I don't mean to.... just want to make sure I shouldn't be pressing my doctor a little more....

Thanks so Much

Brandi
