17 weeks pregnant and slight spot bleeding after being at the toilet is it normal?

It is not uncommon to experience some light spotting or bleeding during pregnancy, especially in the first trimester. This is usually due to hormonal changes and the increased blood flow to the uterus. However, it is always important to consult with your doctor if you experience any bleeding during pregnancy, to ensure that there are no underlying medical conditions that need to be addressed. Your doctor may recommend an ultrasound to check the status of the pregnancy and determine the cause of the bleeding.
