light pink discharge

Hi, can someone please give me some feedback on experiences youve had with spotting/bleeding early in pregnancy!  I am 5 weeks 2 days and as of this morning ive had on and off light pink discharge that gets a little darker once in a while when I wipe. Nothing heavy to stain my underwear or a pad. I did have sex with my husband yesterday morning and ive read that is a trigger for vaginal bleeding but im still soooo worried. My husband keeps telling me to relax that my body is just changing and to have faith,  and I keep reading articles that it is normal the majority of the time as long as I dont have cramps or pain with the bleeding,  which I dont. I dont have a doc yet till the 1st since my work insurance coverage doesn't begin until then, so I simply dont know who to call.

It Is Pretty Common And Doesn't Always Mean Something Bad Will Come Of It. I Will Tell You That With My First Pregnancy I Had Spoting Throughout The Entire Pregnancy And Delivered A Healthy Boy, But My Second Pregnancy I Had SpOtted As Well For A Week In A Half And Then The SpOtting Got Heavier Along With Cramping And I Had A Miscarriage At 6 Weeks. Don't Want To Scare You But I Just Wanted To Make You Aware. I'm Now On My Third Pregnancy Only SpOtted Twice In The BeGinning And Currently Everything Is Going Well At Almost 25 Weeks. Every Pregnancy Is Different And I Can Only Suggest To Take It Easy, Pray And See Your Doctor As Soon As You Can To Have Some Peace Of Mind. I'm Sure You Will Be Fine, Good Luck!

I had spotting in my fifth week AND cramping I was very nervous too as this is my 3rd pregnamcy and I had never experienced this with either of my other two. I will be 11 weeks along tomorrow and everything is going better. The spotting lasted a week or so. Hope sharing my experience helps put your mind at ease. Good luck!

I also had spotting early in pregnancy and I was so scared. It is normal to have a little spotting in the beginning. I also had menstrual like cramps for the first two months. I am now 32 weeks pregnant with a healthy boy. Congrats!

I havent had it that early on but my last two pregnancies I have had it in the second trimester.   It always happens after I over do it.  I also see lots of women post about this here in early pregnancy and have a healthy pregnancy.  I would just keep your feet up whenever possible, take it easy, drink lots of water and make sure you are taking your prenatals.  Also for me nurses lines are my best friend.  You could try calling L&D and ask to talk to a nurse if you are concerned.
