Spotting?

I'm scared. I just went pee and wiped and saw a small pinkish mucusy place on the paper. We have not had sex the past few days. And I've had some mild/dull cramping. Nothing sharp just uncomfortable. And we have to leave for the airport in less than 2 hours.

As your body makes more blood (by the time you're full term I think you have 150% of the amount of blood in a non-pregnant woman) bleeding can happen. I didn't have spotting, but I get nose bleeds so much easier, bleeding gums, and when I get a shot or have to give blood at the doctor I bleed everywhere. Maybe the same thing can happen with the cervix! Are you checking your cervix frequently? This might be causing irritation (my doctor told me to stop). I do still check the toilet paper every time I go to the bathroom though.
	Comment from mrsamanda » Posted Dec. 28, 2013 1:23pm I haven't seen anymore since and I've peed a few times and even checked my cervix and wiped my finger on the tissue and there was no color. My cervix felt super spongey and squishy and I never have been able to tell if my cervix was open or closed so I couldn't tell. There's always a little dip in it.
	Comment from jennavee » Posted Dec. 28, 2013 11:38am I know it's not going to help calm your nerves, but spotting happens in 1 in 3 women in the first few months of pregnancies. Sending up a prayer for you and your baby!
