Just delivered 3 months back and I actually had this in my first trimester. My MIL said it is due to body heat and gave me coconut water, but I still called my gynac. She did an ultrasound to make sure everything was fine. You should definitely check with your doctor too.
I had some light spotting in my 7th week, and honestly, everyone told me it was due to body heat. But when I asked my gynac, she said body heat doesn't cause spotting, it's usually hormonal or implantation. It's best to call your doctor just to be completely safe, dear.
I completely understand how scary seeing any blood can feel, my heart goes out to you. While people often blame body heat, medically it's safer to not ignore it. Please contact your doctor or gynac once, they will guide you and keep you and baby safe.
Omg, I would be so stressed out if I were you, I used to panic over every little thing! Please don't rely on the body heat theory because spotting can sometimes mean something else. Please call your doctor right away just to put your mind at ease!
Don't worry too much, but spotting shouldn't be ignored as just body heat. It is always better to consult your gynac for peace of mind. Take rest and call your doctor's clinic today.
