Is light spotting normal on early pregnancy?

Hi mommies.. Can I ask if you have experienced some spotting for days like light brown and sometimes red during your early pregnancy? Is it just normal or something is off and should seek the OB attention immediately? Thanks for the inputs.

There can be a number of factors causing the spotting. It could be because of changes to your cervix or even hormonal changes. You may also experience mild spotting after sex or if you’re very active. Other factors include implantation bleeding, ectopic pregnancy and miscarriage. You should let your doctor know if you notice spotting or bleeding at any time during pregnancy. They can determine if you need to come in for monitoring or need further evaluation. They may ask you about other symptoms along with spotting such as cramping or a fever.
