Doc,spotting in 6th week...
May 07, 2008
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

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

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!!!

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.
