Hoping for some advice - apologies if TMI.

I am 6 weeks + 4 at age 42 and have just (half an hour ago) had what appears to be some spotting when I wiped after going to the loo - apologies if TMI. A bit more ten minutes ago.

It is very light brown and watery. I have no cramping/ stomach pain at all but needless to say am worried. This is my first pregnancy and I understand some spotting is reasonably normal but am panicking a bit.

Any advice gratefully received.

I had this with my first pregnancy its scary but I was told its implantation bleeding, the embryo is lodging into you at 6-8 weeks and dislodges abit of womb lining. Went on to have an absolutely normal fine pregnancy. Sure you will too good luck x
