Currently 7 weeks pregnant and I've had light brown discharge/ spotting all day. It's not alot but its there every time I wipe. Should I go to er?

Stay home and just do bed rest. Brown discharge can be old blood. Go to the e.r if it's dirty red. But if is light pinkish blood just take it easy and try to see your ob tomorrow. I'm 15 weeks and thats happening to me but I have a bleeding in my sack so is a bit different. But my ob said that if it's not dirty blood that it's okay to just make an appointment the next morning

First time mom here (14 wks along) ….. my husband and i had intercourse about 3 days ago. We didnt notice anything then. Today has been the light brown spotting like old blood. Dr told me to keep an eye on it. Anyone else experience this or can help my worrying?

It’s normal, your cervix bruises easily . It will even have light brown spotting after an pelvic exam.

Everyone is different but as for me when I was about 4 weeks I was spotting light pink then was very brown then bright red they couldn’t tell me much becuase I was just so early some women spot but in my situation they found a small hematoma which was causing me to bleed and I am now 9 weeks they did say it might take up to 13 weeks for the spotting to go away

Hello I'm 6 weeks pregnant and have been having light brown spotting when I wipe from the bathroom and very light cramping, anyone else experience this and have a health pregnancy before? I've miscarried once before this would be my first baby.

You're probably fine, as long as it's not bright red and filling up a pad...should let last more than a few days

I'm 6 weeks pregnant. I've had tiny bit of spotting pretty much daily. Scant, light brown to dark brown in color. Today I had a little bit more dark brown spotting. Definitely not enoughbtobfill panty liner. But I'm freaking out because I've miscarriaed earlier this year. I tried to get into OBGYN office but my appt is not until Jan. 14

Im on the same boat, I’m six weeks pregnant and have been spotting for 2 days now and it’s more like a dark brown, this is my first baby and I can’t help but think the worst. I’m also out of the country and hospitals over here aren’t the same as in the U.S so it’s hard for me to get it checked out. I have my app Jan 17th

so nerve wracking! OBGYN office told me as long as it's not bright red and I'm not saturating panty liner, I'm in the clear. This is my first baby too, well second pregnancy (miscarriaged first one) and i am super worried!! I hate feeling this way. Also having to go go to bathroom every ten minutes just to check the spotting hasn't gotten worse

HCG levels went from 42-9 after experiencing light bleeding bright red to spotting brown after for only 3 days. that was about 3 weeks ago when i found out i was 2 weeks. Im still experiencing very mild nausea and cramping and discomfort. havent went back for my last hcg test , my next appt is jan 4 idk what to think. i thought it was a miscarry but i still feel pregnant ☹️

Your cervix is opening that means you have to go to the hospital because the baby might be coming .
