Last night, before I went to bed, I noticed some reddish brown spotting on my underwear and when I wiped. I had been having VERY mild cramping on and off all day yesterday. The discharge has now turned to brown. I know brown means old blood but I'm still freaking out. I called my OB and they want to see me today at 11 when the MD gets in to be safe. The intellegent and rational side of me keeps wanting to believe and listen to everyone that keeps reminding me that brown blood is old blood and at 11wks 3days the peanut should be fine. But the emotional side of me is a wreck with fear. DH and I went thru a very long road to finally get here and I'm just so scared something is going to happen. If you guys could spare some prayers, I'd really appreciate it
***UPDATE*** Our little is perfect! My MD did a sono and checked my cervix. All looked good. They found a small polyp on my uterus that he think may have caused the spotting but he said that it is not in a dangerous spot and it is nothing to be concerned about. He said that everything that he saw was old blood and the placenta looks in tact and the baby looks great. I can't even begin to tell you what a relief it was to hear our little peanut's heartbeat - 170 BPM! I swear we're having a - the HB is always so high! I cannot thank all of you enough for all of you and good wishes. You are truly all so wonderful and supportive! Lots of to all of you!!!
Sending prayers your way! It can be lots of things... Try to think positive. I had spotting early on and the doc said it was because my progesterone was low so he had me take prometrium.
I am 9w2d and I have had brown spotting and cramping throughout this pregnancy. There are so many things that can cause it. Mine may be cause from placenta previa or low progesterone
