“Is spotting normal at 17 weeks pregnant?”

There are many reasons why people spot pregnancy. But no it’s not normal. Sometimes it can be from cervicitis or vaginitis, for example, a yeast infection. In addition, if you are Rh-negative you may need RhoGAM. Spotting can occur in pregnancy. And most of the time this can be treated but you need to rule out other causes such as a placenta previa (low placenta), subchronic bleed (partial placenta separation), infection such as UTI, cervix incompetence ( cervix opens early)… etc. Please see your provider.
