Very Early Symptoms of Pregnancy
4. Spotting
The term “spotting” refers to light bleeding that commonly occurs in the early stages of pregnancy. It usually results in a few drops of blood on the underwear and is not enough to cover a panty liner. Spotting occurs in about 20% of women during their first trimester.
It is lighter than the usual menstrual period and the color can range from pink to brown. While it may be concerning to see blood stains on the underwear while being pregnant, many women who experience spotting go on to have healthy pregnancies and a normal delivery. If in doubt, it is always best to seek professional medical opinion to ensure the pregnancy is healthy and progressing normally.
