Spotting in 2nd tri?

Question

Hi ladies,
I'm 15 weeks pregnant and 
On Monday after a particularly strenuous boweI movement (I've been extremely constipated), I noticed some yellow, and then tan discharge. The discharge then turned to pink (never red blood)so naturally I freaked and called my doctor. She had me come in and did an internal exam and a transvaginal ultrasound just to be safe. She did find blood around my cervix, but my cervix was closed and 4.5 inches long. Placenta was in a good place and babies heartbeat was 144. They couldn't find anything wrong and don't know what caused the spotting. 
Today I'm still having tanish spotting, although I'm thinking it may just be left over irritation from having a pelvic and transvaginal in one day. 
To sum it all up, I had sex Saturday, strained for a BM Sunday and Monday, then a vaginal exam and transvaginal ultrasound. The doctor said not to worry, but I'm nervous to the point that I'm finding it hard to eat, and I know my blood pressure is elevated due to stress.
Has anyone else had spotting in their 2nd tri? I'd love to hear stories.

Answer

Okay so after a bowel movement I had some pink discharge, I was going to go to ER but we felt the baby moving and she's been moving. But I'm still worried...

Answer

I have been having a lot of brown since Mother's Day on Sunday (ya talk about a great Mother's Day gift!). I went to my scheduled appt on Monday and they did all the checks too and can't find out what is wrong. I am 14w3d today. Day 3 of brown discharge. So much I have to wear a panty liner. No sex for me lately however we are moving so I've been doing a little more work around the house (making the hubby lift all boxes though). It sucks cause it is scary. I am remaining positive. All looks well so I am sure it will pass.

Answer

I had a similar situation... My dr said I just have a sensitive cervix (bleeds on contact). If your dr isn't concerned, I wouldn't be :) Good luck!

Answer

Had some minor spotting around the same time. Now im 32 weeks pregnant and baby is super healthy. Doc had said could be from sex or it was around my usual period time and my body was just adjusting. Never happened again.

Answer

Just the other day (17 weeks) I had a small amount of brown. It barely stained my panties but I was still concerned. I called the doctor and she said between sex the night before and not drinking enough water I need to rest. It was just irritation.
