Brown spotting, 16 weeks

Catherine

Hi ladies,

I'm 16 weeks pregnant with my first baby. A week and a half ago I woke up with bleeding (following intercourse the night before). I was super scared, but my doctor's office assured me this can be normal. Since then I've had some brown spotting every few days...no intercourse since due to work trips and time at the crowded in-laws :) has anyone else experienced this? Any idea why I keep having brown spotting? It makes me nervous, even though I know brown is old blood and not normally a concern.

Thanks for any thoughts!
