What Causes Red Vaginal Spotting And Abdominal Cramping During Pregnancy?

I ve had two previous m/c and I m 5 weeks and 3 days pregnant. I saw some pink drops this morning when I went to the bathroom, otherwise none in my underwear. Now I just went to the bathroom and it s darker red when I wipe, but none in my underwear. I have minor cramps low in my abdominal area. Is this bad?

Hello dear,
It is sometimes normal to have spotting in early pregnancy but given your previous history of two miscarriages ,I would advice you to be lil cautious. As u said that you are observing the spotting only when you use the bathroom and der is no stain on the panty , its too early to say anything. My advise is to please take rest and avoid doing any strenuous activity . Eat well and take care of your hydration. And if you observe any spotting or bleeding please do take your gynaec's appointment immediately,as it may be initial stages of miscarriage.

If the spotting stops then you can rest assured that it was nothing.In your case as you have had two miscarriages earlier,I would suggest you take good amount of bed rest and keep yourself away from any kind of physical stress atleast till u complete your first trimester i.e , first 3mnths.
Wishing you a safe and healthy pregnancy.
