Updated - Brown spotting at 12 weeks

UPDATE: Thought I would update in case any others are reading this and wondering what happened. The spotting continued for about 36 hours, it stayed very mild the entire time, never had any cramping and then stopped completely. Had my 13 week scan yesterday and everything checked out ok. Baby was moving all over the place and HR was strong at 169.

Hi all — I’m 12w1d. No spotting whatsoever this entire pregnancy thus far. Today at lunch I went to pee and when I wiped I had a small amount of brown spotting. I still have it now two hours later. No cramping. I called my OB office and they said that it is good news if the blood isn’t red and that I’m not cramping. They are just having me monitor from home and said to call if anything changes.

I broke down crying after hanging up the phone as I’m a nervous wreck. It is amazing how much love I have for this little baby already.

I was very constipated yesterday and had to strain quite a bit to have a BM. Apart from that, nothing out of the ordinary. Last time I had sex was a week ago.

Has this happened to anyone? What was your outcome? (Good or bad) If everything ended up being ok, how long did you spot before it stopped? If you miscarried, when did your symptoms start progressing/get worse after having the initial brown spotting.

Thank you all for your information.

I really appreciate the support from this app.
