A little spotting (prob TMI!)
So I had a bit of spotting on Friday (a tiny clot, maybe the size of a sesame seed), called my nurse and explained and she said that it was pretty common and not to worry unless it came back as a significant blood flow. Over the weekend, I didn't notice anything an chalked it up to growing pains.
This morning, I hit the head just before leaving for work and noticed what appeared to be pretty pink discharge. Awesome. So I've been monitoring it all day, and it's not a lot, but still pink tinged. I just called my doctor's office, and they're closed until Thursday so they referred me to the sister practice. The nurse I spoke to was very understanding and told me pretty much what my nurse had said on Friday, that it was not something to be alarmed about as long as it didn't increase or cause major cramping, but if it hung around and I was feeling concerned to give them a call and I could come in for an exam.
Did anyone else experience late 2nd/early 3rd tri spotting/bleeding? I know it is a minor amount, and I feel better after speaking to the nurse, but it's still pretty not awesome and has me a little paranoid. Thanks for listening to my crazy!

Re: A little spotting (prob TMI!)
I didn't have any spotting but I did have a OMG he stopped moving moment and called its never wrong of you to want to see someone...its your body and baby...if you are still worried, tomorrow I would call and have them take a peak no harm done...They did and US when I hadn't felt movement in a while and there he was all fine and dandy! They get calls like yours all the time and I'm sure they would see you if you wanted that bit of re-assurnace.
Hugs lady!
I have never been pregnant but we did learn in our maternity rotation that this is not abnormal. HOWEVER, if you're not feeling 100% okay with it, I agree with pp that you should call 'em and get checked out.
In the meantime, I will continue to send Sprinkles and you all the good juju I can.
I know how hard it is to not worry, so if you get too freaked out just have them check you out. Its worth the piece of mind. But, that said, as someone who has experienced a lot of pregnancy bleeding - pink tinged discharge is the okay kind. Good luck! I'm sure your little bean is just stretchin you out
I had a little spotting - might not even go so far as to call it that - back at the end of February. I got up in the middle of the night for a usual trip to the bathroom, and had a small clot. I tried to stay calm, and kept an eye on it the rest of the day, and just had the pink discharge you described. I never even felt like I needed to call the office about it.
While I understand the fright that comes with seeing blood where we least want to see it, I agree with the nurse you spoke with. Keep an eye on it, and try to focus on other things. But, if you feel even the slightest bit more concerned, definitely call again! The biggest thing I've learned this pregnancy is to trust our bodies/gut feelings - all the medical professionals I've come across have said the same as well.

have you been having lots of sexy time with DH? It could be something as simple as an irritated cervix.
Thanks so much all, I appreciate the support and sage advice! I'm not freaking out about it, but it's definitely a concern in the back of my mind. It seemed to go away last night, and I had a little bit of a pink tint again this AM, so if it continues through the day I will call them back again. Even though it's the sister practice, they've been really awesome, so we'll see how it goes today. Unfortunately DH and I have no been able to get all romantical, since my nurse recommended I take it easy since Friday, so (much to DH's disappointment), I know it's not that.
I think I was feeling more concerned since DH is heading out to sea today for a week, so it was one of those "if they're concerned and want me to come in, I want to go while he's here" sort of mentalities, but since they assure me it's nothing to worry about yet. I'll just hold down the fort.
Thanks again, I really appreciate it!
