IS SPOTTING NORMAL EVERY MONTH

I AM 3 MONTHS AND I KNOW THE DOCTOR TOLD ME THAT IF YOU SPOT IT IS FINE, BUT LAST MONTH I SPOTED FOR ABOUT 3 DAYS.  I ONLY SAW PINKISH BLOOD COLOR WHEN I WIPE MYSELF AFTER I USED THE BATHROOM AND IT WAS AROUND THE TIME I WOULD NORMALLY GET MY PERIOD.  THIS MONTH THE SAME THING YESTERDAY I STARTED TO CRAMP AND GET BACK PAIN AS IF MY PERIOD WAS COMING.  WENT TO USE THE BATHROOM AND WHEN I WIPED MYSELF I REALIZED I WAS SPOTTING.  MY QUESTION IS WHETHER SPOTTING FOR DAYS AT A TIMES IS NORMAL OR A WARNING THAT I AM NOT DOING SOMETHING RIGHT?

I have been spotting for the last three months and i'm starting to get worried. Usually i have no periods at all and have to get provera to make it come on. But this time for the last three months i have been spotting without provera use for 6 months and it's doing this. Should i be worried. This month is a little different because the spotting keeps coming and going for the past 5 days or more. What should i do?

CALL THE DOCTOR, better to be safe than sorry. It is normal to have some spotting, my doctor had told me it was a sign to slow down cause I was doing to much and should be resting.

This certainly warrants a call to your doctor today, if you have not already done that.  Don't worry about being a 'pest'.  Your doctor is making enough money from your pregnancy to purchase a boat...you have every right to contact him at any time of question or worry.  I had spotting with my first pregnancy, and she is a smart talking 4 year old now...I had spotting with my 3rd pregnancy, and suffered a miscarriage.  Call the dr.
