Very light spotting

[JenKat]

I'm on my second pregnancy and for 24 hours have had very very light spotting. I don't know what else to call it. It's only a tiny bit on the toilet paper any time I go to the toilet. Reddish/brown, like a little smear, as if you have a paper cut and wipe it on a tissue or something. But such a small amount. I have spoken to the midwife who was reassuring. Not having any other issues. But I am feeling just so anxious about it.
Has anyone had this before?

I had it in my last pregnancy, started around 4 weeks and was on/off until 20 weeks. Found out at 17 weeks it was a cervical ectropion. All was fine but it is worrying.

I'm 7+3 now and had spotting last Saturday at 6+4, spoke with midwife, no referral to EPU like last time unless it gets heavier.

I've booked myself a private scan for Wednesday hopefully to reassure myself.

How far along are you? Xxx

I've had very light pink spotting for 24 hours on two separate occasions in this pregnancy (19 weeks now). I mentioned it at my first scan and they said it's quite common for women to spot and it's nothing to worry about unless it becomes heavy and you have pain. x

Thank you. I'm 9+3 now. What is cervical ectropion?
I find I can't stop worrying about it. I am checking obsessively now every time I go to the toilet. Sometimes there's nothing, sometimes a few dots.

Thanks, it's very very light at the moment. Not even half a finger nails size on the toilet paper and not always. I've felt the odd twinge every now and then but I don't know if I'm just hyper-sensitive at the moment to every little thing. I'm sitting here going, is that pain? Is that a cramp?

I had it in my first pregnancy every time my period would’ve been due.... for about the first 4 months. I now have a mischievous 2 year oils so all was fine!
This time around I’m yet to have it and I’m 11 weeks this Sunday xx

This made me feel so much better. This is the time of month I would have normally had my period. And I didn't have this with my first pregnancy. I am hoping it is just normal.

Hopefully its stopped for you now. I would definitely recommend a private scan if your worried though. I found them so reassuring with my first xx

 

[JenKat]

Thank you. It's mostly stopped and my nausea is definitely back with a vengeance. I'm seeing the midwife on Thursday so can hopefully have a chat with her then.

I spoke too soon too apparently as today I have some light brown spotting. Had some cramps too which weren’t anything out of the ordinary so I’m hoping it’s just that. Still worrying though and I know it will freak me out all night now!

my scan is a week Wednesday, I’m tempted to see if they can get me in earlier!

Wishing you all the best! My spotting has also returned, light brown too. My scan isn't until December 28th.
I hope everything turns out well for you.

I've had some more spotting today too. I've got a private scan with baby bond, ultrasound direct booked for tomorrow evening. Should be 8+1. Fingers crossed.

Hope all you ladies spotting has stopped now xx

I called the dr who sent me for a scan this morning - all is ok and can’t see a reason for the spotting! Saw baby and a lovely heartbeat too! She dated me at 12weeks too so a little ahead but I’m going to wait for my dating scan next week to confirm that!!
Hope you’re all ok!!

Really please to hear everything is OK for you. And kind of exciting that you might be further ahead than thought.

My spotting has continued so my midwife has booked me for an early scan on Monday. The spotting isn't very heavy and I'm having no other issues, and still having nausea. So I'm really really hoping nothing is wrong but finding it hard not to worry.

Aww that’s good that she has booked a scan, I’m sure all will be ok but at least you’ll get an answer as to why you’re spotting xx

Try not to worry. I've had spotting, had a private scan Wednesday ans all was ok. I also had spotting up till 17 weeks with my first and all was ok. Fingers crossed for you. It's more common than you think xxx

Thanks so much for your support, everyone! It's been so reassuring. Had my scan today and everything looks fine. She said everything looks as they would expect at this point and she could hear the heartbeat. Such a relief for us.
She did correct my current estimate to 9 weeks as opposed to 10 weeks, which is a bit of a bummer, but I'll take it.
