Second pregnancy, never had this with my daughter.
I've had some on/off brown spotting since last night when I wipe, feeling so scared 😞
Some mild cramping but nothing out of the ordinary?

Please don't worry, this is very common.

I had brown spotting off and on until 12 weeks with my ds and I had brown spotting from early days up to about 8 weeks with my dd. I did ivf and had brown spotting as I did the pregnancy test after the 2ww expecting the worst but it was a positive. I told the clinic and they told me not to worry.

With my first I did end up having an early scan at 8 weeks due to the spotting but it was all fine.

I think it's only red blood when you need to be a bit more concerned.

Congrats on your pregnancy xx
