Light Pink Spotting

I am about 8 weeks along. I just went to the bathroom and when I wiped it was a very faint pink. I called the doctor and they said this is normal due to the softening of the cervix. Has anyone else had this happen? It was very nerve wracking to see that happen and now, even though the doctor said it is ok, I am still nervous. I do have an appt on Monday for an exam and sono so they said not to worry unless it becomes very bright red. Thanks for listening in my mini crisis!

Re: Light Pink Spotting

I just replied to this question this morning to someone and so did alot of other people...
Maybe***if I come out of the closet on my experience some of u will feel slightly better.
I have had this 2x this week-the first time very pale---like u--went in--check-up sono---2 heatbeats all is well...
Friday I started bleeding (I felt a big gush)
and had to be rushed by ambulance in NYC to bellview from the Hard rock cafe.
Point is.....it was BAD**********
WELL.....2 sonos---trauma docs--the whole nine yards...and there they both were jumping aroud--2 heartbeats all is well.
There are numerous stories like this, some good some bad...
point is...25% my doc said--bleed for no reason---they just do...
it has a horrible name..a threatened abortion--even though the only sign is bleeding and no other miscarriage symptoms.
Sometimes..u go in..the beta level drops--the bleeding continues and the pregnancy is not viable.
But....by 10 weeks my high risk says its lowered substantially.
If...it is pale pink---if not horrible cramps...if doesnt progress or blood goes to brown I would not worry.
I would*** insist on a sono-a blood level check and a check-up no matter what and no matter how light for piece of mind.

Re: Light Pink Spotting

Can I be gross for a second?

Is it when you go #1 or #2? B/c I got really nervous b/c this was happening to me, but then I noticed that it was only when I was going #2. I called my doctor, turns out it is hemrroids. Ick.

Could it be that? My doctor says that in my case it is probably b/c I sit all day at work.

Re: Light Pink Spotting

I am going through the same thing. Don't worry. Mine stopped after one day it was only when I wiped. I called the drs twice and the girls on here helped reassure me it can be quite normall. If you start having cramps I would call the dr again.
