Pictures of Spotting During Pregnancy – What’s Normal? - #7042

I’m currently pregnant, and I recently noticed some light spotting. Naturally, I started worrying and searched for Pictures of Spotting During Pregnancy to compare what I’m experiencing. But I’m still confused—what kind of spotting is normal, and when should I be concerned?? From what I read, spotting during pregnancy can be caused by implantation bleeding, cervical changes, or hormonal shifts. But how do you tell the difference between normal spotting and something serious like a miscarriage or infection? Does the color or amount of blood matter?? I also saw that light pink or brown spotting is usually not a problem, but bright red bleeding with clots might indicate something more serious. But what about spotting that happens after sex, exercise, or a vaginal exam? Is that common, or should I see a doctor?? One thing I’m really concerned about—how long should spotting last before it becomes a red flag? I read that implantation bleeding happens in early pregnancy, but what if spotting continues into the second or third trimester? Can it be a sign of placenta previa or preterm labor?? For those who have had spotting during pregnancy, what was your experience like? Did your doctor find a cause, or did it stop on its own??
