Need reassurance and positive stories
Hi all, I'm 6+3 today and just had some brown discharge (more than a couple of spots). Occasional twinges in abdomen but not specifically cramps.
I had a MC in Nov last year and needing good stories from people who have had bleeding and things have been fine!
Haven't seen the OB yet, and not booked for dating scan for 2 more weeks! 😕
Thanks mummas!

- mPosted 11-03-25I had brown discharge early on around 4w when my period was due. This is my second pregnancy and I had the same in my first. I have naturally lower progesterone so I asked my gp to refer me to the OB early and request I get an urgent assessment. Once the OB put me on progesterone pessaries the spotting stopped. Maybe see if you can get in sooner rather than later? All the best 🙂
Posted 11-03-25Brown blood is old blood and this can be normal. It could be old implantation spotting that didn't come away and with the stretching of the uterus it has come free. Also alot of woman develop haematomas when an embryo implants and that can cause a bit of spotting.- Hi, I've been spotting since week 4 with a significant bleed at 6 weeks. Went for a dating scan today and my little bean is measuring right on track with a strong heart beat. Having had MCs before, I thought I was definitely out, but 8 and a bit weeks and it's still sticking.Advertisement | page continues below
Posted 19 hours agoI had brown spotting and blood around the 6w mark and was surprised to see a heartbeat at 8w. I am currently 22w and everything is good. I had one miscarriage prior.
