Probably OK: A little bit of spotting is likely fine. We call this threatened abortion and if you are less than 20 weeks pregnant, there is nothing that can be done anyway. That being said, 5 mins of minimal bleeding is unlikely to be dangerous for your baby. I see this all the time in the ED and after a workup 90-95% have a normal pregnancy. If bleeding increases, you should seek medical attention.
