light-brown spotting at week 4

[BabyC]

hi merryma

firstly, congratulations on your pregnancy

i had the similar situation when i was pregnant last year. had light brown colour when i was 4-5 weeks which i thought it was preiod and not realised that i was pregnant until i went to my gynae. my gynae said there is nothing to be worried as sometimes it is normal to have some light brown spotting around 4-5 weeks. i took 3 days leave and stay at home and the spotting was gone in a few days

i had some bright red spotting at around 7-8 weeks and i immediately rushed to my gynae. he said i had some blood clot in the uterus but baby's heart beat is normal and it should not be a problem. i dont even take any leave from work. my gynae confirmed it is fine to go to work and i dont even take amy medication

my lovely baby girl is now 7 weeks and she is doing fine

no need to worry and try to relax

hope to hear good news from you

Thanks BabyC.

It's been more than 3 weeks and the brownish spotting still continued and never once stop. I am prescribed endometrin vaginal suppository and my obs advised me to rest more to improve the implantation.
I just had another ultrasound yesterday, baby growing steady and to the schedule, heartbeat is fine too... baby is in 9 weeks now and I could even see it's little forming body... couldn't be happier to see the little human body growing in my tummy "again" (my second one, first baby is turning 1 year old this Thursday :flower: )

Till I feel better and would love to catch a drink with other moms or have our babies get together.. :flower:

Cheers,
Merryma

Hi merryma,
Glad to hear that you are pregnant and congratulations for the same.
I am 32 weeks pregnant now and due in June. I had spotting continuously for 2 weeks since my 5th week
I was a bit scary in the beginning but my doctor advised me to be normal and to avoid straining myself by carrying heavy objects and be relaxed. I was in complete bed rest for around a month, did an ultrasound and felt happy since the baby's growth was normal.

Its quite common to have spotting in the first trimester. So dont worry. Eat well, be relaxed and enjoy your pregnancy.
Hoping that everything goes smooth around you throughout this pregnancy.

Cheers

hi merryma

great to hear that your baby is growing steady and doing fine.

i remember when i had the light brown spotting and went for the o/s, my gynae said as long as baby's heartbeat is good, it should be fine.

again, don't worry too much and relax more.

i would love to meet up when you feel better
