Spotting?

SeattleSuz · 03-10-2007, 09:46 AM

I had a teeny tiny bit of brownish spotting this morning.

Should I be concerned?

Spotting is normal. Just remember brown is good, it is old blood. If are still concerned you should call your doc. That is what they are there for.

Good Luck!

That's kind of what I thought... Thanks a lot!

Ditto Liz! She's right. Brown is OK, and a little bit of spotting is normal. If it becomes heavy (soaking a pad) or bright red, get off of your feet and call the doctor. Even then it could be OK. I spotted with both of my pg. GOOD LUCK!

Sorry man -when I had my spotting episode last Sunday and went in for the u/s the exact words were -
I can tell you why you are spotting - you are having twins and for some reason in IVF twins there is always spotting.

I had a bleeding episode at 13weeks I was told that 50% of pregnancies have some sort of bleeding.

I'm sure she meant spotting is common. I am sure it is not a requirement!
