    6-7 weeks and spotting?
    I am 6-7 weeks pregnant and started spotting. It is really light and I can just wipe it away. This is when I would usually get my period and the reason I went to get tested was because this is how my period was then. Any suggestions?

    Missy :confused:

    Bleeding/spotting in early pregnancy can be caused by a multitude of things... some of which are actually unknown.

    One reason could be a condition called placenta previa, where the placenta lies near, or covers, the cervix. Another reason could be a threatened miscarriage.

    You need to visit your OBGYN and discuss this with him/her and hopefully find a cause for this.

    I have seen pregnancies wherein the woman bleeds like this the entire 9 months and still delivers a happy healthy baby. However, only your doctor can tell you if this is normal for you.

    I don't have a doctor I just recently moved here. I applied for medicaid 3 weeks ago and haven't heard anything back so I've been holding off on scheduling an appointment. Should I schedule one anyway?

    Yes, you NEED to schedule an appointment. Early prenatal care is a necessity for a healthy pregnancy, labor, delivery and healthy baby!!

    I hope you are already taking prenatal vitamins. If not, go out ASAP and get some.

    Yes I'm taking them. So is it possible to still get your period at 6 weeks-ish

    No, you won't get your "period" but it is possible to bleed for several reasons outlined above, BUT this could also be a threatened miscarriage. It's IMPORTANT to see a doctor anytime there is bleeding in pregnancy.

    Most do. However, NO hospital can turn you down if you are unable to pay. That is against the law.
