Q: Faint Spotting

My wife is in her 19th week of pregnancy and this is our first child. This morning after urinating, she wiped and there was a very faint pinkish tinge on the toilet paper. This is the first and only time this has happened with this pregnancy. Ironically, we have an appointment with the ob and a perinatologist tomorrow and we will, of course, ask about this. My wife is not that concerned and feels that everything is fine, but I am freaking out. Can someone tell me if this is "normal" or is this something we should be very concerned about? Btw, there is no pain and or cramps associated with this.

I have been spotting for a month now and im 26 weeks, dr told me its okay, unless heavy bleeding (1-2 pads an hour etc) with severe cramping. This is my second child and I had spotting with my first the only difference between both pregnancys is I have partial previa this time around.

If you are really worried talk with dr but that was the advice mine gave!
