    It happened to me with my second baby, I noticed it more when I would do too much, like vacuuming, for example so I tried to not do too much stuff like that. My doc did several ultrasounds and everything was fine but it was scary!

    I was spotting with my pregnancy but I did end up miscarrying so my story probably isn't a good one. I don't know if there was any correlation between the spotting and the miscarriage since it was a missed miscarriage though but what my doctor had told me about spotting is that its common but its not good and I was instructed not to lift to anything heavy or have intercourse. They also just checked my levels and did blood test, I think that's about all they can do I guess. My levels were normal until the 9th week and it was the ultrasound that had picked up the problem since he wasn't able to get a heart beat on it so then they checked my levels again and sent me to do a more detail ultrasound at the hospital and it had turned out my levels had dropped then.

    For some its not normal, but for my daughter, she spotted entire pregnancy pretty much. Pay attention to the color of the spotting. If it is more of a brown, that is not a good sign. Either way, contact your nurse to be on the safe side!
