Straight away, as in 4 wks pregnant. It continued on and off until I was about 35wks. The dr said I had to go to the hospital and get checked each time, but I stopped doing that around 25wks. I hate internals, the spotting would usually go away after a day or two, and while I wasn't 'cool' about it, I knew what it was and that there was little anybody could do.

I am starting my week 25 today, and also has some light brown spotting 10 days ago. It happened twice over two days so on the second day I went to the doctor. Also apparaently ok but taken some fluid for lab test. Now awaiting result! I had been quite active before (yoga, walking around, lunching with people, shopping for BB stuff), but since the dr visit I stopped going out and the spotting stopped too... Fingers crossed for the results!

Hi Little Bird
I am currently taking the antibiotics due to the infection the doctor found in my fluids. Didn't bleed yesterday but was spotting quite a bit today. Really strange. I too am pretty active and have slowed down since last Monday when the spotting started. But strangely the spotting is the worse today than ever - in the past it was just a very small amount. I will call my doc tomorrow to just make sure.... Hope you get over this soon too! Btw, I'm 21 weeks.

Hi mama-to-be
Yes you better call the doc again! They should have told you what to expect - I would expect the spotting to either stop immediately or gradually reduce. You take care! If necessary visit one more OB doctor.
I haven't had any spotting at all since my staying at home, so I guess slowing down on activities really helps!? I am still awaiting my results - will call tomorrow to follow up.
