Spotting at 8 weeks

Hi! Congrats! Spotting can be normal but can also signal something is up. Have you seen your doctor or done an ultrasound yet?

i don’t wanna scare you but i would go get checked, i started spotting when i was pregnant last year and my doctor told me it was normal but i ended up losing my baby, it’s just better to be safe than sorry 💗

I have my first ultrasound appt on 12/9 and my initial ob appointment the 11th but I did call them last week and explain I’ve spotted two or 3 times and this is nothing something I went through with my full term pregnancy. It’s way less than a period. They advised to monitor and to call back in I’m in pain or clotting. it has picked up today and I’m not sure if it’s bc I was intimate this morning or if I should be going to the er after work

My first pregnancy at 13 weeks I attended a celebration of life and had cramping, which wasn't abnormal for me, but I did experience spotting and when I stood up I realized I saw fresh drops in the bowl, I went to the ER and it took 90 minutes to take pictures of baby because he was so active, all in all I was okay and Baby was okay.

I wouldnt think I would have a whole ton of movement at 8 weeks but I could be mistaken!

ah ok! I wouldn’t go to the ER unless you start to bleed really badly and soak through a pad every hour for 3 straight hours. Fingers crossed it’s just this baby getting nice and comfy

I think that’s the plan considering an er visit is 250 dollars per visit 😳and I just billed myself due to a swollen face from a tooth. It’s nothing compared to a period but I will keep an eye on it! I appreciate the advise ❤️

Omg, as I’m reading this, just a day before Thanksgiving I flew to Colorado from California, and the next day I went to the bathroom and I started bleeding bright red blood, period like. I am 7 weeks. I was panicking… I took a taxi and drove to the nearest big hospital. I was having very dark thoughts and was crying non stop. Then, when the ultrasound tech came in, she saw the baby’s good heartbeat, and that he was still there….🥹♥️♥️♥️🙏They told me I have Subchorionic hematoma, which can be often seen in some women. They tend to resolve on their own.. I’m only seeing my OB in like 3 days, and hopefully he will tell me it got resolved, but I’m worried of course. All I’m trying to say- try not to think the worst. Sometimes things happen but it is nothing terribly horrible…🙏♥️♥️♥️♥️

My provider said some spotting it’s normal , specially if it’s around the time you would have had your period.
I remember my first pregnancy I freaked out when it happened to me and went to the ER to be sure it was okay.

it’s crazy how much can be normal at this stage in pregnancy
