Slight Bleeding?

[nikkihoi]

Good Morning Ladies.
I hope this isn't too TMI but after going to the bathroom, I found a little bit of blood. It was reddish, not dark, not too pink.
I'm almost 6 weeks by first day of LMP. I have a little tiny bit crampy. Could it still be some implantation going on?
Help!

Some women have spotting, some don't. I'm sorry that you're stressed out over it, I know from experience that it's really hard not to stress out!

But, be assured, if it was only a little bit of blood you're most likely fine. A m/c will result in a lot of bleeding. Take it easy today if you can for your own peace of mind, and check in with your OB or Midwife and then relax.

The crampy is also very normal as your uterus stretches.

HTH,
Mindi

It's probably leftover implantation blood. I'd still call your doctor/midwife just to check in and see what they think, but probably nothing. I know how scary ANY blood is, though!

I know how scary it is.

Thank you Ladies.

I still have some slight period like cramping but nothing severe. I called the birthing center that I called yesterday for a first appointment and spoke to one of the midwives. She said to just watch and wait. It could be nothing since not a lot bleeding/cramping is involved.
So, I guess somehow, I will carry on with my day and keep : & :

I'm a Sept. 2006 mommy, and last year, right around this time, before I knew I was PG, I had some bleeding and sorta-crampiness. I had thought I might be PG, and then assumed this was my period, so I went on about my life and didn't think much of it. Then I had a weird stomach for like 0 days and thought "hhhmmmm, maybe I *am* PG?" and sure enough... in mid-Sept. I had my beautiful baby girl!

So, long story to say, BTDT, try not to worry.

I know how scary spotting can be! Hang in there. I spotted early with my third pregnancy and everything turned out fine.

*Hugs* good luck! Hopefully it's nothing. I had light pink spotting and a little bit of cramping 2 days before I tested positive. I had a miscarriage in Nov. and the big differences with that were, the spotting was bright red and turned to full on bleeding within a day, I also had bad lower back pain along with the cramps.

With my first pregnancy (after two m/c's) I had spotting on and off throughout my pregnancy, it was unexplained. The best thing to do when you start to spot is try to lay down and drink LOTS of water. That always did the trick and after a while, I stopped freaking out. I would just lay down and drink lots of water when I started to spot and it always helped.

Thank you all for the s and thoughts
So far so good this morning. I continued to cramp throughout the day yesterday but no more spotting. I was convinced I was going to wake up in the middle of the night with more bleeding.
Alas! All seems to be well so far this AM. It was suggested to me to POS this AM to see if there is any change in color in the HcG line and it was as dark as the test line!
I'm still a little nervous but a lot less so.
Thanks again for all the good thoughts.
