Spotting at 10 weeks

[Aimee'smum]

Hi, just wondering if anyone else experienced light brownish spotting that lasted over a week but without any other symptoms? I have had faint brown spotting, only tiny amounts like a couple of drops a day at odd times most days for the past week. I wasn't really worried at first because I heard that it can happen after intercourse if you bruise the cervix. I haven't had any cramping or pain. I am going to see my Dr today, but is there anything they can really tell you? I was originally waiting until over 11 weeks to have an ultrasound but maybe I should do this immediately? Can you hear a heartbeat with a doppler yet? I didn't spot with my first pregnancy last year at all, but I had all the pregnancy symptoms like tender breasts, nausea (and throwing up a few times a week until about 16w) and frequent urination. This time I really haven't had anything other than very light nausea (was sick a few times during 8w but had a cold and was on panadeine and antibiotics for ear infection - coughing would make me be sick). I had a little bit of nausea still this morning but not enough to be ill. Can I still be a bit ill if the baby isn't developing? Is it normal to have two very different pregnancies? Also I only had Aimee 7 months ago, and didn't breatstfeed (long story, she just wouldn't) after 3 weeks. I have had a tiny bit of milk this morning - could that be from this pregnancy or still from Aimee? This is really silly I know all these questions, I should just be asking the Dr, but he's only a GP and I don't really know how much they would know as they are generalists rather than specialists. Can anyone answer any of my (probably unneccessary) questions? I am starting to feel worried because of the spotting still happening, when I wasn't worried before.
Ta, Nic.

You have loads of questions. My advice is to speak to your GP about it when you go today. It might be nothing, or it might be something nasty - it's impossible to tell until you are examined.

A heartbeat should be visible on an ultrasound at 10 weeks, so I'm guessing your GP might want to arrange an ultrasound to confirm that everything is OK.

Good luck. I'm thinking of you. :hugs:

Hi Nic,

You could be just seeing "old" blood from your implantation bleed. Particularly if it is really light and there is no pain involved. But your Dr will be able to give you a better answer there. In regards to the different pregnancy symptoms in different pregnancies. I think it is very common to have two totally different pregnancies. Some people are practically bedridden with morning sickness on their first pregnancy only to have no morning sickness at all in the second pregnancy.
I didnt really get any morning sickness until about 6 weeks, and that was quite mild. The worst part for me was between 9 and 12 weeks, but even then I didnt have constant morning sickness as such - not as bad as a lot of people I know anyway. The main symptom I had was extreme tiredness and sore breasts! Try not to worry too much - I am sure baby is developing well, you are just lucky in that you are not getting too many nasty symptoms!!

hi just to let you know i am 13 weeks preg and had spotting (brown ) the majority of my preg, and it has also turned bright red. if only to put your mind at ease, go see your gp. if you have a sweat heart gp like mine they will arrange an emergency scan for you. sometimes it can be a little tear in the sac, or can be implantation, or rarely it can be a cyst dissolving. each time i got an emergency scan (twice , when the blood got heavier) they came back with bub fine and no sign of bleeding, so you could be a mystery like me lol. when there is spotting avoid sex and lifting heavy things good luck:hugs: :hugs:

I had mild spot bleeding at around ten weeks and just gave birth to a healthy baby boy, so it doean't mean the pregnancy isn't thriving.

Mine was due to implantation bleeding and I had a scan to check everything was ok when it was happening, which was great to put my mind at ease. I remember the feeling of releif when i saw that tiny baby jumping around without a care in the world, while I was worrying myself silly. Even when everyone tells you not to worry it's still hard not to when it's happening to you, but its true.

I also had no morning sickness and no other symptoms, so that doesn't mean anything either. So just enjoy feeling great while it lasts!

Hope it goes well at the Dr and that you get to see your healthy baby. xx

Hi Nic,
I too had slight spotting twice so far in my pregnancy - once at 6 weeks and also a week later. ( Im now 8 weeks) I went straight to the GP and they sent me for 2 blood tests (2 days apart), this makes sure that the pregnancy hormone is still rising.
I was told that if it was still rising and I continued to bleed then I should get an ultrasound, which I did a week later, and luckily everything is fine, and was told that it was an impantation bleed.??
Try not to stress, and let us know how you get on..

Hi

I was spotting from 2 wks to 6 wks and am now 11 wks with not a single dot:D

Everything seems to be fine at the moment.

Just think positive as you will be amazed at how many people have the same problem and deliver beautiful babies at the right time.

:fingerscrossed:

Thank you everyone for your support. Unfortunately they sent me for an ulrasound and there was no heartbeat. The little one stopped growing they think a few weeks ago. We much appreciate all your kind words of hope earlier. Nic.
