Typically spotting is not a good sign during pregnancy. You need to have HCG-QNT levels drawn to make sure your hormones are going up as they are suppose to. (doubling every two days). And you should probably have an ultrasound too just to make sure that everything looks out. So all in all you really need to go in and see your MD. Good Luck.Advice about 6wks prego mommies i need help or docs??
I would go to the doctor right away, i dont mean to worry you, but at 6 weeks and 4 days i had just light spotting which was brown, and then it went away for a day, and i just had cramps, then the next day i started bleeding a little more, i lost the baby the next day at 7 weeks. Is there any cramping or anything along with the bleeding? It could be nothing but i would get to the doctor just to be sure. Good luck i hope it all works out for you!
You sound like a good mother already, therefore you should know that although early trimester bleeding is common, considering your age I strongly urge you to seek medical care so that you may have the healthiest pregnancy possible. Your age can affect the pregnancy. Best wishes!
It could be a sign of some difficulty. If I were you, I would check with my doctor to be sure, or go in and have him check you to be sure that there are no problems. You don't want to have a miscarrage. If it continues, head for the nearest emergency room.
What should I do if I notice spotting or bleeding when I'm pregnant?


Call your doctor or midwife right away, even if the bleeding seems to have stopped. While it may turn out to be something minor, it could be a sign of a serious problem. You'll probably need an exam to make sure you and your baby are fine and to rule out any complications.





If you're actively bleeding or have severe pain of any kind and can't immediately reach your practitioner, head straight for the emergency room.





How is spotting different from bleeding?


Spotting is very light bleeding, similar to what you may have at the very beginning or end of your period. It can vary in color from pink to red to brown (the color of dried blood).





What can cause spotting or bleeding?


It's not always possible to determine the cause of prenatal spotting or bleeding. Because the blood supply to your cervix and pelvis has increased, it's not unusual to notice spotting after a Pap smear, an internal exam, or sex. Some other culprits include:





Implantation bleeding You may have some light spotting for a day or two at about the time when the fertilized egg burrows into the wall of your uterus. This is a process that starts just six to seven days after fertilization, so you wouldn't even know you were pregnant yet.





Miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy Spotting or bleeding can be an early sign of miscarriage or an ectopic pregnancy, especially if accompanied by abdominal pain or cramping. (Bleeding can also signal a molar pregnancy, a relatively rare condition in which abnormalities in the fertilized egg at conception make it impossible for the embryo to develop or survive.)





Up to a quarter of pregnant women have some spotting or bleeding in early pregnancy, and about half of these women miscarry. But if you have an ultrasound that shows a normal heartbeat between 7 and 11 weeks, your chances of continuing the pregnancy are greater than 90 percent.





Infections Spotting can also be caused by conditions unrelated to pregnancy. A vaginal infection (such as a yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis) or a sexually transmitted infection (such as trichomoniasis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, or herpes) can cause your cervix to become irritated or inflamed. An inflamed cervix is particularly prone to spotting after sex or a Pap smear. You may also spot or bleed after sex or a Pap smear if you have a cervical polyp (a benign growth).





Placental problems or premature labor In the second or third trimester, bleeding or spotting can be a sign of a serious condition such as placenta previa, placental abruption (in which the placenta separates from the uterus), a late miscarriage (between 13 weeks and midpregnancy), or premature labor (between midpregnancy and 37 weeks).





Even first trimester bleeding may be a sign of an underlying problem with the placenta. Research shows a link between early pregnancy bleeding and an increased risk of later complications, such as preterm delivery or placental abruption, particularly if the bleeding is heavy.





Normal labor A mucus discharge that's tinged with blood after 37 weeks is most likely just a sign that the mucus plug has dislodged and the cervix is beginning to soften or open in preparation for labor. You should still report any other bleeding or spotting at this point to your practitioner.





Note: If your blood is Rh-negative, you'll need a shot of Rh immune globulin if you have vaginal spotting or bleeding unless you know for sure that the baby's father's blood is also Rh-negative or it's clear that the bleeding is not coming from the uterus.
go to the er bleeding can be bad best to get proffesional help its safest for you and baby !
Bleeding that far along in early pregnancy is not normal. The implation should be long and gone by this time. You should contact your doctor ASAP, and if any cramping in the lower part of your stomach and or that leads to the shoulder or lower back starts and is or isnt followed by vaginal bleeding go to your local emergency room ASAP! good luck
i went Thur the same thing momma you really need to go to the ER then get some health insurance go thru the state if you have to.
I spotted a bit with my pregnancy at about 6 weeks. I was told as long as it is lighter than a period and isnt bright red it is probaby ok. Best to get it checked out anyway, they will then do a scan to make sure there is still a heartbeat. All the best. x
Light spotting can happen in early pregnancy. It's sometimes a sign of overdoing it. If you start cramping or the bleeding becomes heavy call your doctor immediately!! This can be a sign of miscarriage.
