Q: Spotting At 12 Weeks 3days
asked by: mkcash on July 11th, 2007

I am 12 weeks and 3 days pregnant... I have had quite a history of infertility and after adopting a little boy I surprisingly became pregnant. I am 40 years old, I have the anti cardio lupin antibody and I am taking low dose aspirin. I have had 5 miscarriages between the ages of 32 an 35, the miscarriages all took place by 7-8wks along.
My question is this, this morning I noticed on my underwear some spotting, it was brown, and then when I wiped it was slightly pink. Is this anything I should be overly concerned about or is it fairly normal. I also had an ultrasound yesterday. THe technician was pressing fairly hard on my belly as he could not get a good pictrue...aparently I have a retroflexed uterus!!! He ended up doing an internal ultra sound to get better pictures. Can the ultra sound cause any bleeding from the pressure on my belly or from doing an internal ultrasound.

spotting is normal through pregnancy but you should always contact your doctor in case they want to see you just to make sure!

I believe that an internal u/s can cause some bleeding. Whenever I had my first appointment and the doctor checked me I spotted for a few days after that. I knew not to worry though because she told me that would happen.

Thanks ladies for support, I think it was just from the ultrasound because today I am ok, no spotting.

By the way, I had attempted to make this a question to a doctor, but everytime I attempted to it would not let me. I am probably doing something wrongl
