hi, I am 32 years old and 11 weeks pregnant with first baby. I have had an uneventful pregnancy, up until yesterday when I had spotting for the first time. No pain associated with it, so hospital weren't overly concerned - just said to keep an eye on it. Could this be caused by passing a large stool before which may have possibly caused cervical erosion? Please note that I had a private scan at 8.5 weeks where we saw the baby and a strong heartbeat, and we were told by Consultant that everything was exactly where it should be and healthy. Thanks.
