Hi everyone.. I just have a quick question...
Last night I was watching tv with my husband and I guess doozed off. Well I woke up like 20 minutes later and when I went to the bathroom there was some kind of light brownish (almost like what you get on like the last day of your period) discharge on my panties. There was quite a bit of spotting. I am so freaked out cuz im almost 9 weeks pregnant.
Is this normal? Its almost all gone.. Just when I wipe there is still some on the toliet paper. (please tell me this is normal) I have no cramps nothing.. Just that weird stuff.. Has anyone else had this??
Please help..

If it's brown it's usually old blood, if you are about 9 weeks you are around the time you would normally get period so it could be that. If you have no cramps too then it should be ok. If you see that it starts coming out red though, get to a doc .A.S.A.P. Good luck

Yeah girl I wouldn't worry too much if you don't have cramps and it's just brown! My friend was about 6 months pregnant and she was bleeding becuz she was on her feet too much! It could be anything really including spotting since it would be time for your period! If you start getting cramps or it turns red def. Go to the er or call your doctor!

Thanks you go guys for the replies.. I feel a little better. Its just I am so scared of miscarrying although it is kind of common in my family. My family had 4 miscarriages before she finally had her first baby.
Im just so paranoid.. But ill keep an eye on it / Wink

.. Hopefully everything will be ok

my mom had 5 miscarriages before having me and i've had 2 already (but they were a long time ago, one was 5 years ago and one was 7 years ago). I too am super paranoid about losing my baby but i'l be 10 weeks on friday and so far so good. Don't worry i'm sure you'll be fine. Good luck sweetie pie!

it's common to get spotting throughout the pregnancy, and usually nothing to worry about.

If you were miscarrying there'd be a lot of blood and a lot of pain. As there was neither, no need to panic.
