Spotting During Pregnancy

July 5, 2008



Pregnancy is a joyful time, but it can also be a time filled with worry and concern for many women. Noticing spotting during pregnancy can set off alarm bells for many pregnant women.

Is it a sign of problems? Is it your period, which many women swear they continue to get all through their pregnancy? Or is it something completely different? Bleeding during pregnancy can be cause for concern but it can also be normal. So how do you know when to call your health care provider?

Spotting during pregnancy - Many women notice bleeding or spotting throughout their pregnancy, particularly during their first trimester. This is a fairly common occurrence, with about 10% of all women experiencing some type of light bleeding during pregnancy. This bleeding, though, is not the same as getting your period.

During pregnancy, your body is focused on nurturing your baby so your brain sends signals to your uterus not to menstruate. Most of the time, light bleeding during pregnancy is normal and doesn’t present a danger to you or your baby. However, there are some risks associated with bleeding, especially in later stages of pregnancy. If you are pregnant, it is important to be aware of the factors that can cause bleeding, and the symptoms to watch out for.

It is certainly possible that you may be a few days late for your period, but in case of any doubt, visit your nearest lab center or hospital, and get your doubt clarified by means of a Urine Pregnancy Test. Labs generally examine urine passed by you, and will give you your results within around half an hour itself. You could also find out if your pharmacy stocks home pregnancy tests, and can check whether you are pregnant at home. However, this test is generally an accurate indicator only if you take it a few days to a week after your missed period. Also realize that although the test may show that you are not pregnant, you could still be pregnant. But it is very rare for the test to err the other way about. It will rarely return a positive result if you are not pregnant.

Typically, spotting during pregnancy will present as a darker, brownish color, or possibly a light pink. This color generally means that what you are experiencing is normal spotting. Typical causes for spotting during pregnancy include hemorrhoids, yeast infections, or urinary tract infections. None of these are very serious, and are experienced at some point during pregnancy by many women, whether they spot or not. A quick visit to your doctor will ease your mind, as he or she will most generally be able to offer something for the relief of the underlying cause of your spotting.

The hormone flux in a woman when she becomes pregnant is the number one cause for spotting during pregnancy. It is because of this flux that so many women don?t realize that they are pregnant until much later in the pregnancy than others. The hormone imbalance can cause a woman to spot during the same time of the month as when she would normally experience her period.
