For the past 4 days I have been spotting
non-stop and it seems to be getting
heavier each day. Now it isless than a
light period but definately enough to wear
a panty liner. I am 8 weeks pregnant and
the blood is a brownish color and when I
went to the bathroom thismorning and
wiped, there was a small blood clot.
Should I be concerned? I spent a lot of
time on my feet the last couple days, more
than usual, and I am getting married
today, should I take it easy at the
reception and just sit for most of it? Or
will everything be ok? Thank you.

Hi kylerz, I don't want to scare you but I
am going to be honest. It does sound as
though you are experiencing a threatened
miscarriage. Basically a threatened
miscarriage means it can go either way at
this stage. The fact that the blood
contains clots and it is getting heavier,
is not a good sign. A miscarriage takes
place over a period of a few days to a
week. Other symptoms of a miscarriage
include abdominal pain, much like period
pain along with severe lower back pain
aswell. If you are not experiencing any
pain at all, then you may be one of the
lucky ones who will go on to have a normal
pregnancy. Some women do have their
period during pregnancy, and it never
causes any problems, but it is extremely
important that you get yourself to the
hospital or doctor so that they are able
to organise an ultrasound to verify that
bubby is ok. Congratulations on your
marriage, I hope you had a wonderful
day.
