Perfectly normal!  Probably your lil one snuggling in deeper.  Drink 80oz or more of water a day.   It will help.  Congratulations

If it makes you feel better, I'm 8 weeks 5 days... I didn't know I was pregnant because I thought I was on my period. It was lighter than usual but definitely enough to justify my thinking of it's a period.  It lasted three weeks and I had two episodes of of spotting after that and one included a clot. I'm still feeling very uneasy until my first ob appointment, so I totally get it, nothing is making me feel better about it either, but it's apparently very normal. I went to the er three times now. Two ultrasounds confirmed heartbeat and non tubal despite crazy bleeding. So know that it's normal.

Hello, as long as the bleeding is not heavy, this can be normal. Spotting happensin early pregnancy for various reasons. Most of them being hormonal from the rise and drop of progesterone until the placenta takes over and starts producing it itself. Also it could be desidual bleeding. I know a few women who have had their "periods" (really desidual bleeding) throught their entire pregnancy. So just go to the doctors to make sure its all right.but as long as there arent any painful cramps or heavy bleeding, you and baby should be ok.
