*updated* (yet another) Spotting question  

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
So, I just thought I'd update myself, in case any other mama was feeling the same thing I was. I wanted to pass my new bit o' pregnancy knowledge along.

she said:

b/c everything is so ultra-vascular down there that occasionally a capillary will pop, and that's where the streak comes from, not unlike the occasional bleeding gums when you brush your teeth. Sometimes it will pool behind the cervix if it just happens to pop at night, then you may have some brown spotting when you wake up in the morning.

Hope this helps someone feel more comfy in their own pregnancy shoes


Just had a BM tonight, wiped, and saw a tinge of blood mixed in w/cm.

I'm okay, right?

The last time I saw this was 3 weeks before I lost our first baby. I found out a few days later that she had chromosomal abnormalities visual in an u/s. I had the u/s with this one 2 weeks ago, and all looked well. I guess I'm just looking for reassurance.

Is this normal?

I would put it in the normal catorgory for sure. But, if you feel like you want to call your provider, then do so. It never hurts to call.

Could it be hemorrhoids?
I have had blood after bm and that's what it was.
Try not to worry

It sounds normal to me, but...I'm paranoid and would probably call my mw just to check.

(are you sure it isn't from your bum? I've...had spotting from there after a BM that has momentarily freaked me out)
