What Causes Spotting in Pregnancy?

Noticing spotting or light bleeding during pregnancy can feel terrifying, but it isn’t always a sign that something is wrong. Many women who spot during pregnancy go on to deliver a healthy baby.

Spotting is considered a light or trace amount of pink, red, or dark brown (rust-colored) blood. You may notice spotting when you use the restroom or see a few drops of blood on your underwear. It will be lighter than your menstrual period. There won’t be enough blood to cover a panty liner.

During pregnancy, spotting can be caused by a number of factors. Spotting is different from heavier bleeding, where you’d need a pad to stop blood from getting on your clothing. Seek emergency care if you experience heavy bleeding during pregnancy.
