spotting...

[bex76]

Hi there,
am hoping some of you ladies might have some words of wisdom and advice...
I'm 6 wks + 4 days and last Monday I started brown spotting which continued fairly lightly for a couple of days then stopped, phew I thought - that's it, having panicked loads! then this morning I have noticed it again, just a small amount but I am panicking again.
At the beginning of this week I was feeling really quite sick but now I don't really feel any symptoms other than sore boobs. Also, up to this week I had felt things going on down there...mild cramping & stretching etc but this has stopped too...am really worrying now that my symptoms are decreasing and it's all going wrong.....am going to buy a test at lunch and see what that says, though I doubt it will shed any light on this.
Anyone experienced anything similar??
thanks!

I have had spotting with both of my pregnancies, both absolutely fine as well. With my last one I did get an early scan though just to be on the safe side, call your MW and express your concerns and hopefully sort out something for you quickly. But as they normally say, brown spotting and no pain - everything should be ok! Fingers crossed for you hun! xx

thank you, there hasn't been anymore since this morning so I am going to see what happens, I have my first appointment with the midwife next Tues morning so I will try and hold out till then. I mentioned it to the Dr last week when it happened and she said it's probably nothing to worry about and unless it got worse then just to carry on as normal. The midwife said the same when I spoke to her last week but gave me the number for the Early Preg Unit just in case. being a worryer I am a nightmare, I just dashed out to Boots and got 2 tests and did them in my lunchbreak, they both came back positive with very strong dark lines but I'm not sure what I expected!

I'll see how it goes for the rest of the day - it's just such a shock when you see it there!

I am sure everything is fine. As long as it's just brown spotting and no bright red or clots or pain everything will be just ok! Try and take as easy as you can, no lifting and no over doing anything. The less you stress the better it is for the baby (sounds like an old cliche but it's true). It's probably just old blood etc, as I said I spotted with my both around that time and lots and lots of people do and carry on having perfectly normal pregnancies
