Spotting during pregnancy

Spotting in early pregnancy can be scary, but light pink spotting at 5 weeks is actually quite common and not always a sign something's wrong, especially since your doctor has already seen you and given you medication. That said, two weeks is a long time to sit with worry, so if the spotting gets heavier, turns red, or you develop cramping, it's worth calling your PD or the clinic straightaway just for peace of mind rather than waiting it out. In the meantime, try to rest when you can and avoid heavy lifting. Hang in there, most spotting cases turn out fine.
