Spotting/ bleeding in mid pregnancy

Posted By Jenny on April 23, 1998 at 22:20:09:







Dear Drs.
I'm 21 weeks pregnant, and less than 30 years old.
I have had slight spotting about once a month through out my pregnancy.
Except for this last week and a half when i've been bleeding more light pink rather than brown.
My doctor has rueled out any infection or placenta previa, she says that I have a sensitive cervix, but I have not have intercourse for almost two mo so I don;t see how it can be my cervix. Her other thought was intra uterine polyps. In no books that I have read does it say anything about " normal bleeding in pregnancy" so my doctors laid back and not so worried attitude worries me. My friends say don't lift anything heavy, what is heavy? A gallon of milk is that too heavy?
Should I seek a second opinion? My AFP came back normal.
Thank You
