Hi chrissie....

They do say that brown blood is common in pg and not to worry.... Its the red stuff that can cause problems...

If it continues though, or if you get any pain id go see the dr just to be on the safe side...

Good luck

So far it hasn't got any worse, just a few tiny spots of pale brown colour.
I will monitor the situation though and if it should get any worse I will contact the doctor.
Thanks.

Hi chrissie, i'm heather and I had a m/c and that is how mine started out. You need to go see your doctor as soon as you can. It might not be anything either but you really need to go to the doctor and see how your baby is doing. Good luck!! Dont mean to upset you its for your own good, and your babys!!

Before reading your reply, I decided that I had to speak to someone, so I did infact do exactly as you said to do.
I rang my doctor and i've just returned from an emergency scan.
I have to do the customary thing of go back in a week. I have irregular periods, so therefore I may not be as far along as I thought. They could see the egg sack (so at least its not ectopic) and they also found I have a small fibroid which they say should cause no problems as its at the top of the womb and its so small. They thought they could see a flickering of the heart and picked up something on the sound but they want to try again on monday. Will keep you posted and thanks for your replies to me.

The best to you! I will keep my fingers crossed for you! I know I had a very difficult time with the 1st actual pregnancy and I do not wish it on noone! Try the best to stay calm and take it easy as much as possible, even though I know that it is easier said than done!

Thank you for your kind wishes, I will do my best to stay calm, i'm lucky that i've got a fab husband and great friends, who are there to help. Unfortunately, I do tend to look on the bleak side of things, that way it can only be a bonus if I get good news. All we can do is wait and hope.

Good luck chrissie!! I'm hope everything is fine and your baby is ok. Tell us when you hear anything!! We are all here for you. :) baby dust for those ttc *~*~*~*~

brown stain is "old blood", meaning that the blood has stayed an adequate time in the acid secretions of the vagina to have turned in color from red to brown. Usually this means that the bleeding occurred at a very slow rate and has not continued.
Causes for bleeding in early pregnancy include local irritation in the vagina or on the cervix; increased blood flow to the cervix (this occurs in many body tissues: some women get nosebleeds in early pregnancy and others notice increased gum sensitivity and bleeding when brushing their teeth). As the pregnancy nourishes itself by tapping into your blood system inside the uterus, it can be over-zealous and there is some "spill" (much like when you overfill a pot on the stove and drop in the vegetables).
One in 4 ladies experiences some bleeding (pink, red, brown) in early pregnancy and for one half of them, it has no bad meaning

Today i've had more discharge, more of it and pinky this time.
I can only wait and see, I still have no period pains and feel sick (although this maybe anxiety). Only time will tell, but I appreciate all your comments.

Hello again,
on thursday the bright red blood began, friday I started getting period pains and by saturday night / sunday mroning I was convinced I had miscarried. I got chronic cramping pains and lost a lot of blood and clots.
This morning I went for my scan and having explained to the doctor what had happened he was checking that the womb was empty, however, he found not only was the egg sack still there it had grown! He couldn't say that it was a healthy pregnancy as he couldn't get a clear view inside the sack. They took blood and I have to have more taken wednesday to check the levels of pregnancy hormone. Since returning home I have lost lots more blood and a big clot and had more pain, so who knows? This is definitely a wait and see time.
Thanks again for your comments.
Chrissie

I received conformation that my hormone levels had dropped, which means miscarriage. Given the awful pains that I had experienced and the blood loss, there was little hope really. My husband and I have decided as its happened 3 times and its devastating that we won't try anymore, we have each other and thats enough.
I'm relieved to know one way or the other really as its been a long wait to find out. I have a scan next week to check the womb is empty if not then it means a d&c, we'll see, hopefully it won't come to that.
Thanks for all your comments you all helped a great deal during my ordeal.
Love to you all.
Chrissie
