Hi, thanks for using HCM..
i understand your concern.. Spotting may be due to show indicator of initiation of labour . Is this your 1st pregnancy? If u get 3 contractions lasting for 45 sec in 10 min it is good contraction. As the head of the fetus descends it presses upon the bladder which causes pain while passing urine.It is better to go to ER for a check up as it sounds like u r in the process of labour. Hope i have answered your queries.. good day.
