Spotting

Hi,
This is my first baby and I am so anxious! I had my last period 25th September so estimated I am around 10 weeks pregnant. Yesterday I had some bleeding (brown when wiped, sorry tmi) and had an early scan. They estimated I am 5+4 but could see baby's heartbeat. How normal is spotting early on? I'm so scared that this means I'm going to miscarry. Thanks xx

Yep. I had a brown mucusy type spotting when i wiped between 5-6 weeks. It could be implantation bleeding, its common x

I had 3 spotting episodes with my second baby. It was so scary at the time but it all turned out fine. It seems it's quite common.

That's great to know, thank you.
It seems to be stopping so fingers crossed :)
