Answer 1

Red colored blood is normal. Pink spotting is also normal.

What you're looking for is bleeding. This is different from spotting, just like being on your period is different from having some colored discharge.

When you're on your period you bleed and fill atleast one pad a day, usually more, since you have to change it every 6-8 hours. A miscarriage would result in the same thing this early on, it would be a heavy period like bleeding, because the usual uterine lining would shed, a long with the newly implanted ovum, (which is about the size of a grain of rice).

What you need to do, instead of asking these questions in as many ways as you can think to phrase them on here, is to call your OB's after hours number. All OB's are required to have a contact number for emergencies, aparent miscarriages, and women in labor. Whether its the hospital that answers, or an answering service that pages your doctor or a nurse.

If for some reason your doctors office doesnt have something that answers or directs you when you call after hours, call the emergency room and talk to a nurse, and then get a new doctors office, yours is in violation of code.

Then all your bases will be covered and you can relax.

Yes I had this too, i am now 12 weeks and it has stopped, at 8-10 weeks it happened a few days on and off for 2 weeks or so. I went into ultrasound, all was fine. Doctor says this is normal around this time, between hormone changes and all the changes going on, it is a mytsery why, but it is ok as long as you have no pain or cramping. Mine was just a light spotting mostly seen when wiping, just a slight watermelon juice color (pinkish). You should try and take it easy though, when you can. I would not worry, but it is great comfort to se e that little heart beat flashing on the ultrasound. if you are still worried, request one, and doc will also check hormone levels too. Good Luck!!!

I have know a women who experienced spotting all trough out her pregnancy. Her baby is fine, beautiful and smart. However, it isn't normal to bleed during pregnancy. She was a bigger girl and I think that might have something to do with it. More pressure around the uterus can cause stress on the muscles supporting it. You are early in your pregnancy when things are the most crucial. I recomend seeing your Dr. ASAP just rule out anything bad.As women we are faced with the biggest task of our specias, to bring new life into exsistence. It is a big job full of stress and frustration. Just take a breath and know that you are doing the right thing by going to your doctor right away. Have hope no matter what, and no matter what happens, be confident that you are doing everything you can to ensure the survival of your baby. Good luck I will pray for you.

What you notice on usual, is what is typical. Example: for those who see a character hiccuping that by and large typical but when its nonstop for days or months, that is certainly now not typical. Also if a character used to be born with some thing like six arms on each and every hand won't look typical to us however it's typical to that character. So usually it is an character factor that nobody else will recognize.

from what I've heard this isn't uncommon during the first trimester.I'm glad you have a Dr.'s appointment set up.If your still nervous contact an emergency room and talk to a nurse,or call your doctor.There should be an on call doctor at the office you go to.
