I had this at 6 weeks and then again at about 18 weeks. Always just a pink mucus and not spotting as such, no pain.

All has been well with my pregnant so far, fortunately.

Thank you. It mostly happens when I really need to poo abd I'm constipated so it's all pressure

You'll want to sort out the constipation as you don't want to be straining.

You could try psyllium husk. I think it's Fibogel that's also recommended on here.

Spotting is very common in early pregnancy. I had bright red bleeding at 9 weeks and it was all ok. It’s likely just caused by the extra blood flow and the straining

Thanks everyone. I'll keep an eye and will get an early scan in just over a week all being well

Sorry, just saw your last post. Sorry for your loss. I hope the next one works out for you.
