Hi Michelle. You arent alone in this. I had spotting with both pregnancies and although my first baby was four weeks early and the second had t o be induced they are both, healthy and smart. What I was told by a very experienced nurse practitioner the second time around was implantation bleeding. I asked her why the doctor put me on bed rest the first time and she said its a standard precaution. I would consider having a thyroid panel,though. I had my first in Florida and dont remember them checking,the second was born in Alabama and my doctor did order a thyroid panel. Seems that they check a lot more here than in Florida. Best wishes, Pam
