Hello,
i am a 20 year old female in the military getting ready to leave off deployment from korea on the 30th of nov. Me and my husband just found out I was pregnant matterfact im 5 weeks and 3 days. I went and got a pelvic exam because I was having slight spotting, he said my cervix was closed so thats good but he does some blood but the good thing about that is its old blood(dark brown). And no infection was found to be causing bleeding he just told me to take it easy for now and its very possible I carry into full term, but in my records he states that he has to consider it threatened abortion because im bleeding. After the exam I went home and layed down when I got up I noticed more dark brown blood not to heavy though and not medium it was pretty light that was on the 28th nov, now on the 29th I still have the dark brown spotting continuing on through the day. I really need some good news right now because im scared im going to lose my first born! Crying or Very sad

I think that since it isn't bright red you will be ok
we lost our first and there was no brown blood only red

how are you feeling otherwise?
Try, try not to stress over this, think positive

good luck

i was thinking the same thing. I have no experience with miscarriage, but I have heard that it would be bright red. Brown blood is old, and bright red is new. And there is usually some kind of pain/cramps.

When I had my 2nd miscarriage it happened slowly, it was soooo sad
i was on the ship on the way back from hawaii all excited that I was prego, but scared to tell my senior chief so I was stressing out and getting a lot of migraines, and then I started bleeding, that freaked me out so I went to my lpo and he sent me to doc and he gave me a hpt qhich was positive, and put me on bedrest, sadly there is nothing you can do to stop an abortion, but staying in bed on your back will slow it down. When we finally got to san diego my husband then boyfrien took me to the hospital and they did an internal ultrasound and I was ably to see the baby I was losing, it was the saddest day of my life. I was flying home to nc later than evening and they said I had to do a dnc so I wouldn't have the miscarriage on the plane. It was sooo awful. I don;t know what I would have done without richard, he was so great to me. I hope you don't have to go through that, but again, I never had brown blood, even though it happened slowly.
