you really can't go by your last child. every pregnancy is different. if you call a dr. they'll tell you to relax, and not do anything strenuous. and that if it gets worse, or doesn't stop, to go in. being that you're only 7 weeks, it's a possibility that you're body just isn't used to not getting ur period (even if it didn't happen with your last). plus at 7 weeks, there's really not much they can do for you if there were to be something wrong. i would just talk to the dr. so that it's recorded, and if it doesn't stop, or it gets worse, you'll have already called them and they'll have you go in. also try to rest, and try not to really do anything for awhile. i know, easier said then done. a friend of mine recently said she had the same problem (just about as far along) and wanted to talk to me about it because i've been through a miscarriage. well, she does just what's necessary to do around the house, and it's been a month, maybe 1 1/2 months since she told me about the spotting (that she never had w/ her other 2 kids) and there's no more spotting, but she said that there is still some discomfort. her dr.s say that everything's fine. just remember, RELAX! to panic just makes things worse. if you panic and there's nothing wrong, something could go wrong for no reason, stress plays a big part in the health of YOU and your child! also remember, every pregnancy is different, as well as every child, so each time, there's a possibility that it will do something completely different to your body then the previous pregnancy. just let the dr. know what's going on, relax, and keep the dr. informed as the hrs/days go by so that they can suggest anything else you may need to do. congratulations, and i wish you the best!

I hope you called your doctor's office. It could be nothing but I wouldn't take the chance. You should be checked out by the doc and probably have a blood test to check your hormone levels... good luck.

Good morning D.,my name is D.,I have some strong advice for you:Go see your doctor! Dont let anyone try to tell you that it is normal.I miscarried my very first pregnancy,and it all started with "spotting".Everyone kept telling me that it was OK.I was 16 weeks pregnant when I lost the baby.5 years later I got pregnant with my son,and at around 22 weeks,I started spotting.My doctor told me this was normal,and I believed him.This went on for 3 weeks,finally,I went to the emergency room,and they found out I was already 2 centemeters dialated.I spent a week and a half in the hospital trying to hold the baby in.I was discharged on a Thursday,only to come running back on Friday morning in full blown labor.I was only 26 weeks pregnant when I delivered my son.He weighed 3 lbs,and was 15 inches long.He went through so much during the 9 long weeks he stayed at the hospital.10 months later I got pregnant with my daughter,it was a totally different pregnancy,no bleeding what so ever.She was full term,actually 8 days late! Last April,I found out I was pregnant,my kids are now 7 and 5,so I was really excited to have another baby around.At around 5 weeks I started bleeding a bit,my OBGYN told me not to worry,this went on for weeks."Everything is fine" he kept telling me,even though he knew about my miscarriage,and my premature son.I started leaking amniotic fluid at 12 and a half weeks,we ran to the hospital,again,and they discharged me later on that day,saying that everything was fine.I cried,and begged them to check on my baby.The ultasound showed that I was very low on fluid,and they discharged me anyway.I lost my baby 2 days later.I am not trying to scare you with my story I only wish someone had told me to fight for my baby's life,like I'm telling you.Dont let anyone tell you that bleeding is normal during pregnancy,its not.Especially if its something that is happening often.Go to your OBGYN and tell him or her whats going on,get mad,get loud and demand the medical attention you need.Had I done that,I would have my baby girl with me today.Good luck,I really hope it all works out for you.Take care.
