My doctor gave me four things to call him for:
bleeding, contractions 5 min apart, water breaks, baby stops moving. I wouldn't panic, but definitely call your doctor.

thanks a lot that's a lot of weight off my shoulders!!!!!! I called my Dr. And he said usually when your around thirty-nine weeks pregnant it's normal to spot. But he did also say if I start to bleed heavily I counld be in labor. Thank you very much for your comments.

i'm so glad for you! That's why you should always call your dr when you're worried about anything! No sense worrying about something when your dr can ease your mind!

I've never heard of any problems about being on the computer while pregnant. I know many women at work who worked up until they delivered and they continued working on their computers. The only thing I would advice is get up and walk around periodically...Like once every hour for a few minutes. This is advice anyone should follow because sitting still too long can cause blood clots in the legs....Which can then break loose and then get stuck in the blood vessels to the heart or in the brain and cause a stroke. They advice people on long plane trips to do this too. Pregnant women may be a little more susceptible to this because of the larger volume of blood.

Anyway, best of luck to you and hoping you have a quick and easy labor/delivery!
