Spotting at 6 w!! Freaking Out!!

I have pain on my right side (was left this morning). Now the pain came back and I'm spotting a little. I noticed it on my underwear. It's brown! Sorry TMI but please help! Is this okay??

You should call your doctor and ask them about it. Spotting is a total crapshoot. It can be normal and mean nothing bad at all. At the same time it can indicate that something isn't right with the pregnancy. I totally know the frustration. I'm 9w+4d and I've been spotting the last few days. I have my first U/S tomorrow to see what's going on all up inside me. Good luck, hopefully it's nothing and everything is just dandy with your baby.

Definitely call your OB to see what they think to follow. I had spotting with both pregnancies, and now I have a DD and she is a healthy 2 year old. Last week, baby's heartrate was 134, and they confirmed I had a sub chorionic hemorrhage. No big deal and should resolv on its own. Hope everything turns out ok for you!

I had spotting for 8 weeks (starting at week 5) last pregnancy.  We figured out, for me, it was exercise induced, so I was on exercise rest until I could walk for 10 minutes without spotting the next day.

BUT, that plan was made because I saw my OB about it.  It's probably fine, but as the others have said, check in with them.

Glad you'll get checked tomorrow!  If it helps ease your stress until then, I've always been told that brown spotting is typically much better than red.  So you are likely fine!

I spotted and had red blood constantly from 6-8 weeks. It turned out I had a bad yeast infection and a vaginal bacterial infection. Everyone is different and bleeds for different reasons, only your dr can tell you yours.

I just had my appointment, dr. Was not at all worried about brown spotting, so I hope this eases someone else's mind. She said she would only be worried if it were red.

Call your OB for sure. I had some spotting at about 6 weeks, but she told me it could be from constipation or vaginal infection. I had my 1st US after the spotting and all was well with baby. I've heard of it brought about by exercise as well! Sending prayers that it's just normal pregnancy symptoms.

I had brownish discharge at 6 weeks. My dr saw me and said it could be nothing, could be sign of a problem. He did an internal exam and said everything looked good, but he also ordered blood work and an ultrasound to put me at ease. Still waiting for the blood work to come back, but the ultrasound found the heartbeat!
