I need some input here, please someone help! Has anyone experienced spotting while pregnant in the first trimester at or around what would be time for AF?

I had a lot of light spotting around the time AF would have been due in the first trimester, also had spotting when i ran... it was always nothing ... i wouldnt worry as long as it is not red bleeding.

When I was pregnant with my daughter I had spotting around when AF was due. And then when I was 6 weeks pregnant I almost bled to death. I was on blood transfusion alert and they even had an ambulance ready for me to take me to the city. They told me that I was going to miscarry. I had a 90% chance of losing my baby...today she's a healthy 13 month old.

It turned out I had subchorionic hematoma which caused me to bleed really bad. Miracles do happen and spotting is mostly normal in the first trimester. I had bright red blood and my baby turned out fine.

i did with my first son. It was very little but it was enough for me to think that I was starting my period. I found out a week later that I was pregers. Best of luck to you. Lots and lots of baby dust to you.

I did with my second child. As long as it is brown or pink and just doesn't get started like a normal period it is my understanding that it is just fine. OB said some women spot at time of implantation or when period would have occurred. Mine was a few days before period due, was pink and only lasted a day. I never had any other bleeding in the pregnancy and it went just fine.
