TMI question

How can I tell the difference if I am spotting or if I perhaps scratched myself after I peed?

Anyone know??? Anyone have this happen?

Never had it happen, but I think if you scratched yourself you might feel a little stinging or burning sensation. Is it bright red?
Can't really picture it (or want to! Ouch!) but do you have long nails?

If there was any doubt in my mind, I'd give the doctor a call.

If it is a little scratch I don't think there would be much blood. Is the blood bright red or brownish? If it is bright red call your Dr.

Thanks for replying Kate.


I called my Dr for the first time and I have any appt later ot make sure that everything is OK.

It is red, but there isn't much at all.

A lot of times it can just be that you are dehydrated. Drink some water

I'm sure everything is ok

How far along are you? Have you had any cramping along w/the blood? I spotted a couple of times earlier in the PG. I was even cramping. Well, one of the times it was pretty heavy. That ended up being from my DH and I having se x the night before. Let's just say he bumped the cervix. The other times, they have no clue why I was bleeding, but everything ended up being just fine. Keep me updated!
