Starting to spot and scared

[Smgailey]

I am 6 1/2 weeks along. Two days ago I had some very light pink spotting then nothing for two days. Tonight I had some more spotting but more red. I have had 4 very healthy pregnancies but never spotted with any of them. I also had two miscarriages between my 3rd and 4th children (one at 13 weeks and one at 4 weeks). I'm scared I am starting to loose this baby as well. Have any of you had spotting and still carried a baby to term?  Is there a chance I'm over reacting?

Try to rest as much as possible and stay hydrated.  You can always ask to speak to the Ob's nurse and she can assess the situation and advise if u need to come in or not.

No more spotting since last night but I'm still nervous- trying to relax and not stress it. Called Dr's office but he's out until Monday. (its Thursday now). I hate the waiting!  Thank you for sharing your experience, it is always helpful to know it has worked out fine for others.

I had spotting and outright bleeding with my first son till 15 weeks.  Carried him to term and he's now a healthy 9 year old.  Spotting can be cause by a number of things doesn't always mean a m/c.  Infections, sex, uti can all cause spotting to name a few.  Contact ur ob so they can advise. I would have some blood work and an ultrasound for reassurance.  Try not to stress and good luck to u.
