Ugh i forgot to ask the doctor yesterday about the brown spotting I had. Well I had some more this morning and its like sticky cervical mucus thats tinted brownish tanish color.

Then a little while ago at work I had some watery kind of discharge that was tinted pinkish/brownish. Its like I stand up and feel like you do when you start your period (like you feel the discharge come out) sorry tmi. But I go to the bathroom and its on my underwear but when I pee and wipe there isnt anymore....

I cant leave work...but i dont know if i should call the doctor after i get off....go to the hospital....or call in the morning when the office is open.

what do you think???
should I be really worried??

Im so scared but its not like bleeding, I wouldnt even consider it spotting its just like tinted cervical mucus, which I have had increased since I became pregnant.

thanks girls

Hi there!
If you're super worried, I would give the doctor a call and just tell them what's happening, but I'm pretty sure that spotting is quite common in early pregnancy...I'm sure everything is fine, but like I said, give the Dr. a ring if it will put your mind at ease. Wink

Good luck!!

I think I will call in the morning, I know it can also be common, and its not like bleeding that would indicate a miscarriage or anything so ill call them in the morning.

thanks

Aww I'm sorry, hunny...I totally understand being concerned about every little thing...I'm only 9w2d and every little twinge I feel totally freaks me out! But like everybody keeps telling me, there's no need to worry until there's real reason too...I'm sure you're just fine! Your body is probably just adjusting & getting ready to grow a little person in there! Wink
