Pink Spotting in Late Pregnancy: What to Expect & When to Worry

Spotting in late pregnancy can be alarming, but it is not often a sign of immediate concern. Because you have been experiencing it for a month and are unsure of the source, it is important to see and speak with your doctor. Although most providers would ask you to come in so they can assess the situation, it may be that your doctor has specific circumstances to consider given that you have reached out so many times. To have a better understanding, it would be helpful to ask more clarifying questions:

• Is there a specific reason why the doctor suggested you relax before coming in?

• Were you given a specific amount of time to wait for the spotting to stop?

• Did your doctor specify what conditions would require you to come in immediately?

• Has your doctor ever offered any possible reasons for this spotting?

Additionally, it might be worth checking with your doctor's office to ensure they are aware you haven't been able to come in and if the nurse or triage person you speak to would recommend you try a different doctor within your practice if none of your inquiries can be answered.
