What Causes Vaginal Spotting During 36-38 Weeks Pregnancy?
Hello, I m 36-38 weeks pregnant and just yesterday had very light spotting so I think. It was bright red and was about the amount you d receive if you had a small cut. I m curious to know what its from? Considering I ve been having period like cramps I m concerned I may be going into Labour shortly.
Hi, Thanks for posting in HCM. Well, spotting at 36 - 38 weeks of gestation is unusual. Since you are also having cramps, it is better you seek medical attention at the earliest. You need to get a ultrasound scan immediately and take Obstetrician's advise at the earliest to know about the reasons for spotting and cramps, as well as the status of pregnancy. Hope the information provided would be useful. Wish you all the best.
