What exactly is normal spotting during your first trimester Like color and amount wise?
Spotting is a very light flow. It is something that may barely, or not even, fill a pantyliner throughout the course of the day (or couple of days for that matter). Spotting doesn't really include the loss of any tissue (shedding of the lining of the uterus). Usually it is a very light pink color, but it could also be bright red (new oxygenated blood) or more brown (old, deoxygenated blood).
During pregnancy, any bleeding is referred to as vaginal bleeding. It has nothing to do with a period as pregnancy and periods cannot co-exist. Vaginal bleeding is caused by something other than your period and in this case it sounds more like implantation bleeding (if it is early in the pregnancy).
However, any vaginal bleeding should be reported to your doctor as well as any detail you can provide regarding flow, color, any odors, frequency, and any other concurrent symptoms. Your doctor will want to evaluate it to determine a cause (though it is often difficult to determine an exact cause) and be sure that it is not something serious; although it is usually a very normal occurrence and means no harm.
What are some changes to the body when in your first trimester of pregnancy?
Your body undergoes SO many changes when you become pregnant. Most of these changes comes from the result of changing hormones. You will notice physical changes such as weight change, many women notice changes in the hair and nails (usually for the good!). Your hormones will cause you to be more emotional. You will notice breast changes such as swollen,tender, color changes, etc. You will notice discharge from your vagina pretty much all throughout your pregnancy.

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. 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 as soon as you can.

How many weeks would you be if your uterus is 15.4cm long?
The answer varies depending on how many children the woman has had, whether she is having multiples and maybe a few other things. Doctors measure the uterus by using a tape measure on the centimeter side. The start at the top of the pubic bone and end at the top of the uterus. Measuring 15 centimeters at 15 weeks is typical, but in the case of women who have had large families, their uterus at 15 weeks could be up to their belly buttons. And multiples have their own set of difficulties in measuring. Ultrasound is the most effective way of determining the gestational age of the baby.
What do you expect your first trimester of pregnancy?
You tend to get very nauseated. You also start to become very tired or exhausted. You will notice you will start to "lack" on household doings. Your breasts will become extremely tender and will grow bigger. In the beginning you will have a problem sleeping then you will start to sleep more after about 4 weeks. Your appetite will decrease but try eatting some crackers when you wake up and stick to bland types of food. You will also notice you will become very forgetful which the doctors offices consider "placenta brain". Your taste buds will start to go out of whack and you may notice foods you loved before are not very good anymore but once you enter into second trimester it usually fixes itself back to normal.

Is white and brown discharge normal during third trimester?
A watery discharge during pregnancy can be normal depending on the amount of discharge. If it is a constant watery discharge then I would check with your doctor because you may be leaking your amniotic fluid.
Most pregnant women experience an increase of discharge so unless you are constantly leaking a watery fluid it should be nothing to worry about. I would call an nurse hotline and tallk to them or check with your doctor just to be safe. Pregnancy is nothing to mess around with.

Can a ultrasound be ten weeks off if you think your 12 weeks and ultrasound reads your 22 weeks?
Ultrasounds are fairly accurate - a fetus at 12 weeks is very small. A 22 week fetus is fairly large. They measure how big bones are, and the distance around the head. There is no mistaking a 12 weeker for a 22 weeker.
Can you be in your third trimester of pregnancy and not know your pregnant?
Absolutely-- I didn't start showing till after that. I had gained a couple pounds but was still within my normal weight range that I usually fluctuate in. I really didn't start showing till about twenty weeks! As for not knowing I guess if you had very infrequent periods and didn't think it was odd that you didn't have one for three months (or maybe you had a slight period while pregnant) then I would think most people would know by the time they were that far along but then again sometimes we lose track of time. With my first two pregnancies I knew even before I had missed a period, with this one I probably was already a couple weeks late with the period but it was more of just having a feeling. So I knew within the first month every time, but with all three pregnancies I started showing very late.

Yes...it is called a missed abortion...I know because it happened to me a couple of years ago. I had no cramping nor bleeding. The doctor did an ultrasound and there was no heartbeat.
