Pregnancy spotting

[Ayonalee]

Hello I’m currently 9 weeks+6 days. I started spotting at 6 weeks it went from light pink to red and then stopped for days. Showed up again and was light pink to brown. Stopped for several days and then came back at 9 weeks that’s light pink to brown.I’ve had no other symptoms and the doctor only said “threatened miscarriage” but I’m worried about what’s going to happen 😔😔

Hi OP, that must be such a worry for you! Spotting in early pregnancy is really common and can happen for lots of different reasons, try to remember that your body is going through lots of changes especially your cervix which could be causing the bleeding. Have you noticed any patterns with it, for example after sex or exercise as this can sometimes trigger it?

At this early stage of pregnancy unfortunately the drs do diagnose bleeding as 'threatened miscarriage' which sounds horrible but often it's because there's no clear reason for the bleeding. I remember feeling really panicked when I saw those words on my drs report.

I had a bleed at 16 weeks which was pink and then brown in my current pregnancy. It was fine but they never found out why it happened, I'm now 40+5. I have also had two miscarriages prior to this pregnancy so completely understand your worry and know fully that the early stages of pregnancy are so hard and feel like such a waiting game.

I think the best advice I can give you is to try and keep yourself busy to subside the worry, look after yourself, drink plenty of water and try to keep positive (I know easier said than done!). I hope it's all okay for you

@Ayonalee so sorry your experiencing this, it drives you crazy but try to relax and maybe request an early scan to out you at ease.

I had a mmc 7 yrs ago. I started spotting around 6 weeks then nothing till 10 weeks. It continued on and off for 2 weeks. On tje day of my 12 week scan it got worse and found out there was an empty sac measuring 6 weeks so it all made sense.

I got pregnant 3 months later and staryed spotting around 6 weeks. Instantly started panicking. I had a scan and everything was fine. There was heartbeat and i was a week ahead. The pregnancy continued without any spotting and now dd is 7.
In my experience a short stint of spotting was ok, anything more ended in a mc.

I hope everything turns out ok for you.
