Hi Ladies,
I have a question, I have had some very light spotting this morning... like not enough to even require a panty liner, but it is evident. I am only about 5 weeks along, trying not freak out, but my first pre-natal apt is no until 11/13. Any advise? I have dr. googled, but that is not helping!

My advice is to step away from Dr. Google! You will find everything from "it's nothing" to "you're dying." Spotting in early pregnancy is really common and okay. Keep an eye on it. I would call your doctor if it doesn't go away. They might want you to come in or get your betas drawn.

It can mean something or nothing but its hard to know. Spotting isn't necessarily normal but it is common. I had it 3-4 times up until 7 weeks. Don't be concerned unless it gets heavy or is accompanied by cramps.
I would call up your OB just to ask the question. It's probably nothing (unless it's heavy bleeding and accompanied by cramps), but they are better equipped to give you medical advice than we are.
