A member asked:

I am 6 weeks pregnant and today when i went to the bathroom, there was very light spotting on the toilet paper when i wiped. is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably ok: We never like to see bleeding during pregnancy, but occasionally, we will. A light spotting can occur as the placenta is growing or after intercourse. Also, the cervix can get engorged with blood and bleed easy as well.
