Spotting During Pregnancy Posted: 09-28-03 03:06am
I am about six weeks pregnant and
yesterday after I went to the bathroom I
noticed some blood or discharge. It was
actually brown not bright red but I was
still freaked out. I spoke to the doctor
over the phone and she said it might be
better if it was that color but just to
rest in bed until I could get to the
doctor just in case. I am still freaking
out until then. Has anyone else had this
experience?

Dear hill,
keep your eye on it, any bleeding during
pregnancy is enough to make anyone worry.
If it starts to get heavy or bright red
then you need to get yourself off to the
doctor or hospital. I had a miscarriage
about 3 months ago and I also had severe
back and abdominal pains with the
bleeding, so you may want to watch out for
these signs aswell. In the meantime, take
your doctors advice and rest. Keep in
touch, we are all here to help.
Regards,

Well, bleeding is something you always
want to see your Dr. About. But it's not
always necessarily something to freak out
about. 50% of all pregnant women will
bleed and 50% of those women go on to have
perfectly healthy full term pregnancies.
Sometimes it can be breakthrough bleeding,
or can be caused by stress. You
definately want to make an appointment, to
make sure, but don't get worried just
yet.
