My best friend is also pregnant now. She’s six weeks today and spotting enough for a panty liner. Did you experience this also?

Question

Answer

I had bleeding around 4-6 weeks. It was only enough to be bright red, full toilet paper when I wiped after urinating. It happened for two days and I decided to call “my” doctor(whim I had never met😂). She felt awful, because she had no true relationship with me so far, but sent me for blood draws. She requested a hcg quant as well as progesterone quant, two times, 48 hours apart. 
I would hate to scare anyone, but this truly is what saved my pregnancy. From the draws we found out my body wasn’t producing the progesterone I needed to sustain babe. My doctor, whom now I ADORE, put me on progesterone supplements immediately, and watched my levels with a few additional draws and saved my pregnancy! I had to take the supplements for my first trimester but I never have since had ANY complications! I’m 31w3d!

Answer

I had spotting around 7 weeks, however I still recommend going in to get checked out. We spent a good 4 hours in emerg but we got blood work and an ultrasound done while we were there, it was a huge reassurance cause we got to see the baby - I mean he was a blob at that point, but we got to see his heart beating at that point.

Answer

I had several days of brown spotting at 4 and 5 weeks. Some spotting can be normal early in pregnancy. She should see her doctor they may want to check her hcg and progesterone levels.

Answer

Update: She went in. She was supposed to be 6 weeks today but instead she’s measuring 2 weeks according to an ultrasound, blood work and urine sample. They have her on pelvic rest until she can get in to see her primary care. If the bleeding persists and they can’t get her in any quicker, they told her to come back to the ER. This is her first pregnancy and she’s terrified. I miscarried my first 3 pregnancies and I’m currently 33 weeks with my first successful pregnancy. I know how to comfort her but I don’t know what to say during the waiting process... I’m just trying to be as supportive as I can. I just feel like it’s harder because my son is about to make his arrival and it’ll just hurt even more if she loses her baby.

Answer

Had bright red bleeding at 10 weeks with this baby and it was a bleed next to the baby and everything turned out fine. When I had a miscarriage I had a tiny little clot and then found out the baby had stopped growing. The amount of blood really doesn’t mean anything, the only way she’ll know is to get an emergency scan x

Answer

I bled from 7-14 weeks. I thought I was miscarrying at first but it turned out to be a subchoronic hematoma. I would suggest she go get checked

Answer

My first pregnancy I was spotting blood that filled a pad, I had a miscarriage. I think it’s best if she get it checked out so they can check the baby heart beat .
