I'm spotting...UPDATE! (post #30)

[ashley84]

It started last night. There have been a few drops in my underwear, but it's mostly just when I wipe. It's ranged from brown to red, but it's mostly brown. There have been a few clots, they have all been very brown. I have mild cramps, but I've kind of had those all along. I have an u/s on the 31st. I don't see any reason to call my MW. It's not like there is anything they can do if this isn't going to end well. I hate the thought of waiting until the 31st or heavy bleeding, but I don't want to stir everyone up for no reason.

I had one night of brown/light pink spotting when I was pregnant with my DS. I had an u/s the next day and everything was obviously well. I only spotted for one evening then though, and I never saw red.

I'm so damn depressed. :-(

I'm sorry mama! Imo, the scariest feeling during pregnancy is to see blood of any color. I spotted with my first 3 and went on to have healthy babies. My advice would be to go in and get checked if it picks up and becomes heavy bleeding. I definitely wouldn't sit and worry myself to death for days. Actually, I went to the er with all of mine when I saw red because I was so upset. Each time I got an ultrasound and bloodwork that settled my nerves.

Good advice.

I spotted with my DS too. I hope everything is ok. Just go get checked for peace of mind. I felt funny calling the on call for my leg last night, but I figured that's what they are there for & I was able to sleep.

Please keep us posted.

I spotted with my DD. It's such a scary experience. I'd get checked if it'd ease your mind also.

Ditto...

praying goes well for you

[fluffybunsdiapers]

Prayers...and go get checked out if it will ease your mind!

I think that if I were in that situation I would call and go in immediately to my doctor. I am pretty sure that they would see you and not make you wait 5 days! Praying for you mama!

hugs mama!

I had gushes of bright red bleeding with DS and went in for an emergency u/s, it was a hematoma and he was just fine. Fingers crossed for you!

((Huggs)) I would probably go in if it continues just to ease your mind.

I spotted off and on with both my boys for the first few weeks and did with this one too.
