5-6 weeks Preggers - Light Brown Blood for 2 weeks + cramps?

[RaachelMorrow]

I just found out I'm pregnant. And Although a surprise, this has now become a very wanted baby by myself, daddy and inner family.

I have my first appointment with the midwife on Friday. But I have a quick question, and hopefully you experience folk can give me some peace of mind.

I have been spotting for the last 2 weeks, really light, brown, with cramps (I only took a test on Friday because I thought it was my period starting).

Is this normal? I've ready implantation bleeding only usually lasts around 4 days.

So worried already that I'm going to mess this up, and we're not even off the starting line! Scared, excited and clueless.

Thanks you so much,

Rachel

Also, I just want to take tests every day for peace of mind :(

Pregnancy tests can show as positive for weeks after a miscarriage. If you are experiencing bleeding you should go to your local EPAU (early pregnancy assessment unit) who can assess you and possibly do an early scan. I hope it all works out for you

With my first pregnancy I didn't bleed at all between conception and bloody show.

With current pregnancy I had one fairly heavy period (4w?), then a very heavy bleed and contractions, (7w?) then light daily spotting until 11 1/2 weeks.

Baby is fine so far.

So do check with the Midwife, but don't assume something's wrong.

I think at 6 weeks they might be able to see something on a scan at the EPU if the pregnancy is viable? But be prepared to be told to wait and see. It's such a frustrating time but there's really nothing anyone can do at this stage, what will be will be. Good luck and I hope it works out!

I bled for around 2.5 weeks from when I found out I was pregnant (at 3 weeks).
I did have one very heavy red blood bleed at around week 7 or 8 but went to the doctor and they checked me out and adviced that I was likely still pregnant (which I was). I then bled brown blood on and off until I hit week 11.

I'm now 14+6 and haven't had any blessing since.
Good luck OP!
