Brown blood in early pregnancy

[Faith230]

I NEED S HANDHOLD PLEASE 🌷
Recently found out we were expecting and we've also had a loss (miscarriage) in the past, and I've been in hospital with a family member who almost died today 💔 sepsis and lung cancer sucks. But after the day I had a wee and wiped and a small amount of dark brown blood appeared 🥺😭💔 has anyone else had this and had a healthy baba, I know what will be, will be, but im praying its not another loss 😭 just need a hand hold 💔

Big hugs. It could be Implantation bleeding, if very early on. Lots of women have it in early pregnancy

Oh OP sending lots of love and praying it is implantation bleeding for you! Implantation bleeding can be a brownish or pale pink colour if it’s very early in the pregnancy. Has the bleeding got worse or has it subsided?

Thanks for the reply, it was 1/2 a cm in size and very dark brown blood, I've had atkeast 6 or 7 wees after and no blood, just praying for the best :(

Praying for you too OP. Can you go and get a scan for peace of mind somewhere? It’s so hard because brown discharge can be a number of different things xxx

I'm going to call the midwife tomorrow and ask, just feel like its happening all over again 🥺 I just want to be a mommy and my body is failing me 💔

Oh OP, it’s not your fault - it’s just one of those things that you can’t control. I had a miscarriage too and then trouble getting pregnant … so I know how you feel but we got there in the end. Sadly I know quite a lot of people that had 3 or 4 miscarriages before they finally had a happy pregnancy and birth.

You will get there! Try not to stress or worry - I know that’s easier said than done but the minute I forced myself to be at peace with ‘what will be will be’ … it all happened. definitely call your midwife tomorrow. Sending a big hug xxx

Also… there is no saying this is a miscarriage! Praying it’s just implantation bleeding :) how far along are you?

Thank you for the comments, I am I think around 4 and a half weeks, so quite early x

I'm praying its just old blood from implantation but I don't know 💔

It could definitely be implantation at 4 weeks!!! Try not to worry! I’d be less optimistic if you were 7-8 weeks but 4 weeks is when you would expect to see implantation bleeding. Fingers crossed OP! ❤️❤️

OP, I had this with DD1. I was so, so worried. My midwife told me (repeatedly) that brown blood is old and isn't ordinarily something to worry about. I hope all is well for you

Thank you , I'm keeping an eye but still calling in the morning 🌄

I had this throughout the first trimester with DC2, (so not implantation bleeding) and all was fine. I rang the midwives and they told me to go to EPU to have bloods etc checked a couple of times (I think this depends on how far along you are).
