Spotting & Bleeding During Pregnancy Posted: 01-23-06 12:56pm
I'm seven weeks pregnant and want to know
if it is normal to spot brown or bleed
lightly with some (but very little)
clotting? This will be my second
pregnancy. I also have cramps and feel
lower back pain as well. Should I
worry?

Hey..Im 9 weeks pregnante and ive had
problems with bleeding and spotting 2
times during this pregnancy. Both times
my dr has demanded I come in to be checked
because any bleeding during pregnancy isnt
good, but doesnt always mean something bad
is going on. Ive been fine both times
with mine, but it can lead to more if it
isnt checked out. So i'd advise seeing
your dr next time you pass clots or actual
new blood (red) instead of old blood
(brown)
hope this helps.

It's said that 25% of all women experience
bleeding in the 1st trimester...But it's
never what they consider 'normal'. You
should talk to your doctor. However...My
mother had her period for two to three
months during all three of her
pregnancies...But carried all to full
term. Also...Not to scare you...But they
say 50% of those how bleed do
miscarry...So it's very important to
determine the 'cause of the bleeding.
Hth! :)

Hi Posted: 02-15-06 20:17pm
I just went to the doctor today because I
had some brown spotting off and on last
weekend. He did an ultra sound and said
everything was fine. I even saw the heart
beating, what a glorious sight!
Get checked out, but don't freak out. My
doctor said some women have brown spotting
during pregnancy and some don't, as long
as it is not alot of blood, like enough to
fill a pad, then it''s ok. Sometimes
brown spotting is just old blood that your
body is trying to clean out.
Good luck!

Any clotting should be something to worry
about...If it were light brown spotting
(with no pink or red in it) then maybe I
wouldn't be as concerned...But if there is
clotting and pain associated with it..I
would def. Hit up the .E.R .A.S.A.P!!!

I had dark brown, light brown, pink,
bright red, watery, clots, spotting, heavy
bleeding and I was scared sh!Tless, but I
made it through that stage and I am
currently 30 weeks, so for those of you
experiencing bleeding, there is still
hope, don't forget that :o)

When spotting I would suggest a Dr. Visit
to eleviate any unneccessary stresses and
to focus on what the actual situation is
at hand.
When there is spotting without pain their
is a better chance that the pregnancy will
be successful.
But if there is pain aswell, there is a
strong possibiliy of a miscarriage and you
should go to a hospital. Preferably have
someone drive you as the pain can get more
intense as time goes on.
