Hi,

i’m 7+4 and i have been getting a lower back pain for about 4 days now which i’ve just been putting down to things stretching a little more down there. I’ve just went to the toilet and when i wiped i had a sort of brown jelly on the paper.. should i be worried? Is this normal? I never had this with my first pregnancy?

Spotting?

It can happen without meaning there is a problem. It's quite common, apparently. I had similar spotting at almost exactly the same time - 7 1/2 weeks. Had it checked out at the Early Pregnancy Unit and all was well. Previously I had had similar spotting, but more of it, at 12 weeks, and that, sadly was a miscarriage. But the small amounts you show aren't necessarily a worrying sign.

Best to get it checked out, for your own peace of mind.
