3 weeks ago i had bright red bleeding and passed a clot. this is my 2nd pregnancy (1st pregnancy no bleeding at all and have a healthy 2 yr old girl).
i had gone to the hosp that night for fear of a miscarriage. They did an ultrasound and baby was ok. Went to dr the following monday to follow up and he said i still had a 99% chance of having this baby and not to worry. I also was having dark brown spotting as a result of the initial red bleeding i had. He said it was old blood and not to worry unless it was bright red again. Problem is...its been 3 weeks now and constant dark brown discharge every single day? why isnt is going away? Its making me very uncomfortable! Im so scared something will happen to my baby. I am 10 weeks today.

I had brown spotting for almost 2 weeks, and saw my OB 4 times within those 2 weeks. I would call every day or every other day, so they would finally get me in. Mine started around 8 weeks and finally stopped right before I hit 11 weeks.
They think mine is caused by a polyp on my cervix that keeps getting irritated. OB put us on a no sex rule until my appointment next Tuesday. He seems to think it's no big deal, I'm just a bleeder. We've heard the heartbeat twice and everything seems to be fine.
It will make you feel better to call the doc, it may seem like you're calling for a stupid reason at times. But it's worth it for a piece of mind.
GL!
