A member asked:
What causes spotting during first trimester? i have spotted 2x pink with little red spots. i haven't had sex or anything? no pain/cramps 6 weeks pregnant
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cervix: The cervix is very friable during pregnancy meaning that it can bleed easily. This is why some women will spot after a pap smear. Spotting associated with cramping during the first trimester of pregnancy can be a warning sign of miscarriage. Ultrasound should help reassure both the patient and the doctor about any spotting during the first trimester if all is well.
