5 weeks spotting

[KrysB]

Has anyone experienced light bleeding at 5 weeks & turned out to be normal?

Hi, i was 12 + 4 and had a severe bleed while in town shopping. Everything is fine with baby, just me that nearly had a heart attack. I am now 16 weeks and all is well. Brown spotting is not as bad as it is old blood, and not too much to worry about ( still check with doc though) spotting fresh blood early in preg can be implanting, so try not to worry ( check with doc though too ) if you bleed so much fresh blood it soaks a pad, go straight to hospital though. With me it turned out to be placenta previa ( placenta in wrong place, mines over cervix)  take care :-)

Hey, it's a bit of a late response, but I had this also when I was about 6-8 weeks pregnant of my second child. I went to the toilet to pee and when I wiped I had a little bit of fresh/ red blood. So I tried to pee some more, and again a bit of blood, and I was sure it came from my vagina. On the way to ER I also felt a bit of cramps like PMS. On ultrasound the doctor found an hematoma, a collection of blood in the wall of the uterus. Luckily it was not behind the placenta, which can lead to abortion. So I had a month bed rest, was only allowed to pee, this to make sure the hematoma wouldn't become bigger. Now I'm 25 weeks pregnant and hematoma was gone in 3 weeks time.
My advice is to always go see your doc when you are loosing blood, especially if it's red/ fresh blood. Better be safe than sorry.
Hematoma sounds dangerous and it is if u aren't careful.

Yes it's normal for some women to spot at the start it's called an implanting bleed . I had it and am now 16w with twins

I'm spotting too. It started Sunday, stopped, started again Monday, stopped, then started again tonight.It is not heavy bleeding. Its like a light pink color only when I wipe. Any suggesstions?

I had bleeding for both this pregnancy and my last. Last time it turned out fine, just a blood vessel. I'm not too worried about it this time since it wasn't much and there was no pain. It's not super common but it is normal. Good signs are if the blood is brown (this means it's old blood, not fresh), if there's little or no pain, and if it's only a small amount, like equal to or less than a light period. But I'd check it out with you're doctor, if only to ease your mind.
