Spotting

hey Everyone,
I recently found out I was pregnant and made an appointment. I started spotting the night before my appoinment. The doctor sent me to have a sonogram and we had a heart beat I was about six weeks. I now have been spotting for about a week. I read things that say it's normal but how long is normal. It's hard to not freak out.

It scary and hard not to freak out but I had spotting at 15 weeks for 4 days and again at 20 weeks and it was due to being dehydrated then at 33 weeks I ended up in the hospital I was bleeding and cramping  due to being dehydrated and I drank litters of water so make sure you're staying hydrated.

If it's just spotting ur fine. If u start filling up a pad within an hour or start having really bad cramp pains or passing blood clots then that when there is something wrong. Do to the hospital or ur doc
