Spotting in early pregnancy is fairly common, and usually as long as it isn't bright red or heavy or associated with a fever or severe cramping you should be okay. That said any bleeding and/or spotting in pregnancy should be reported to your doctor.
If you know for sure that you are pregnant, it is probably not going to be your period, although some women have experienced a "first" period then learns a couple of weeks later that they really are pregnant. It is possible that it could be implantation bleeding caused by the fertilized egg to attach itself to the uterine wall. Or it could be a cervical change that can cause vaginal bleeding. Vaginal bleeding can also be a symptom of ectopic (tubal) pregnancy or placenta previa. Another cause for bleeding during pregnancy is a miscarriage although the first two reasons for bleeding are more common, it is still a good idea to contact your doctor.
you should see a doctor right away
If you are worried contact your dr right away.If the spotting becomes heavy or bright red contact your dr or go to the ER immediately.
it is common for pregnant women to 'spot' this is also known as a false period. If you are worried, talk to your OBGYN.
No if you are pregnant the uterus is closed so the lining is still in there. Some spotting can still be during the pregnancie though but not heavy bleeding. If you are worried go to your doctor.
You don't say how far along you are or how much bleeding. Spotting is not uncommon and especially during implantation. If you are worried and bleed a lot contact your doctor.
Some women experience some spotting at ovulation. If you had unprotected sex in the days leading up to the 14th day, you could be pregnant. Have a test done if your period doesn't come or you had unprotected sex and are worried.
i had a similar problem having missed 2 pills, was worried i was pregnant and dont yet kno for definite as im not late yet so cant take test. anyway i asked a gyn on another website and was told the spotting, which was brownish, was due to withdrawl bleeding from he drop in hormones caused by the missed pills...hope this helps, and also hope it's correct and im not pregnant.
You really should go see a doctor. You could be pregnant but not having your period yet you should check out.
The spotting is always cause for concern. Get in to see the doctor any time you have spotting while you're pregnant. Pain in the lower abdomen can be serious but it can also be pulling ligaments. Again, see your doctor if you have any questions.
I am also 30 weeks and pregnant and am experiencing the same thing. Two days ago I started spotting and started to worry, so I went to the hospital where they monitered the baby and checked my cervix. Everything checked out great...thank god! The doctor told me that spotting is common this late in pregnancy and to not be alarmed if I see it even more as I get closer to labor/delivery. She also said that pink/brown spotting is really noting to be worried about this late in pregnancy, its the bright red/heavy bledding like your period that you should worry about. But, I would still discuss this with your doctor at your next visit, or call him/her if you are just uneasy....either way your like every woman who is pregnant, you want to deliver a healty baby, and worrying is something that we all go through while pregnant, and I don't blame you. Congrats and good luck!
The brownish spots that you are seeing is your body cleaning out all of the blood that was left inside while you were on your period. Blood drys a very dark brown so when it comes out a few days later that's all that is. So don't be too worried.
Pregnancy symptoms and PMS symptoms overlap one another so much it's ridiculous. If you are worried that you may be pregnant, you need to take a home pregnancy test. If you have had sex without the use of protection, you could be pregnant. It does not matter what time of the month it is for you. Even if you did use protection, there is still a small chance you could get pregnant. If you are pregnant, the brown spotting is likely implantation bleeding. The stomach cramping due to your uterus preparing, and the backache is probably uterine related also. But, cramping, backaches, and spotting are also PMS symptoms. Take a pregnancy test.
Sometimes women spot around the time when your period would normally have been due. The fact that it is brown means it is old blood, and that you may not be currently bleeding. I wouldn't be worried about it as yet, but if it worsens, you experience cramping or a fever, you should see a doctor.
