Hi shauna,
i read your other post saying that you'd
just gone to the Dr... It could be that
the brown spotting is from the dr checking
your cervix??.. You said the baby was
kicking at the appt so that's a good sign
brown blood is old blood.. When I had
brown spotting the dr wanted me to get an
ultrasound right away to check if there
had been a bleed near the baby.. I've
read that you can get tiny bleeds from a
tiny tear in the uterus and that it's not
necessarily a big deal, just from
stretching etc. My spotting went for
several days and got worse, hence the rush
for the ultrasound.. Turned out the bleed
was several weeks earlier.. A long time
before I actually saw anything.
Having said that, I don't want to worry
you! Since it's only just started, plus
having your cervix fiddled with earlier,
and since everything went ok at your appt,
plus having the baby move and everything,
you've probably got nothing to worry about
however, i'd ring the dr and check..
Best to be on the safe side, even if you
feel paranoid doing it it's worth it for
peace of mind! Try not to worry too
much.. It's probably nothing!
I'll be interested to hear what the dr
says or what you find out, so please post
an update or pm me
all the best!!!
Loren.
