21 weeks... Just saw a little blood on t.p. ETA update...
I'm mildly freaked out... What could be the reason? I didn't see a lot of blood on the toilet paper, but any amount is too much for me. It was very light and less than dime sized. I finished antibiotic for a uti on monday. I do feel vaginal pressure. I had a ultra sound with my perinatologists' office on tuesday and the sono techs said everything was fine. I feel the Baby is moving around. I did work out for the first time in 2 weeks last night with my trainer.
Any thoughts? I'm drinking a lot so I can pee again and analyze the t.p. again. I hope I don't see anything! 
UPDATE: It's been about 14 hours and each time I've "gone" I haven't seen anything. Now I'm questioning what/if I even saw anything. It was so tiny on the t.p. and it was VERY light pink/tan.
Would you still be concerned at this point? No cramping, no more evidence on the t.p., nothing on undies and baby's moving around. They keep telling me I have a long cervix and no previa placenta, which means I can have sex/exercise without concern. Should I just move along with life normally (including having sex) and just closely monitor it?

I would just contact your dr so you feel better. I'm sure they wont mind a call from a nervous mommy.

I don't know, hopefully it's nothing. But my Dr always said to call if there was any second trimester bleeding or spotting.
Give your doc a call and hopefully it will make you feel better

I would call your doctor. I had bleeding at 17 weeks, it saturated a pantiliner. I wound up having the beginning of a UTI and when I started the meds I spotted for a couple of days afterward. It may just be a reaction to the meds, but call to be on the safe side!

Re: 21 weeks... Just saw a little blood on t.p.
I recently had light pink spotting and they thought it could have been caused either by a UTI or monistat applicators for my recent YI. Yes I am the picture of sexiness. I would definitely call the doctor but don't freak out. Mine told me that brown blood is old blood, light pink blood means its coming from the cervix and not the uterus. Heavy and bright red is something to be concerned about but its usually nothing.

Actually, no, but we were planning on it this weekend (that doesn't sound very romantic... lol). Now I'm worried, though.
The only thing was that I exercised the night before. Not strenuous at all, though.

I didn't spot that late, but I know my d. would always ask about exercise, lots of moving around, , etc...could also be the end of your UTI, as another poster said...I hope you hear back and your mind is at ease soon...

Glad it seems like things have cleared up. Honestly, I might hold off on sex for a few days. I also don't think it would hurt to call your OB if you need some extra reassurance.

I would still go to your OB, this happened to me at 19w, same thing, and when I went to the dr. they did an internal exam and found that I had a cervical polyp, which caused the bleeding, and was put on pelvic rest and told to generally take it easy. That could be a possibility too. It happened one more time at 20w, actually AT my dr's appointment, but hasn't happened since then and I'm now just about 28w and baby is still fine.
