Is it normal to lightly spot or have twinges/cramping early in pregnancy?
Spotting (dark red or brown) can be quite normal early in pregnancy. However, if you experience bright red bleeding, that soaks through a pad an hour, please get off your feet immediately and call our office. Intermittent mild cramping and slight twinges on either side may also be normal. If cramping is moderate to severe, this may not be normal and you should notify our office. If you have had IVF with multiple embryos transferred, patients may experience some spotting as well.
