  I had light brown spotting one morning from 6am-11am.  Called the dr. the next morning and got me in the next day.  My spotting just lasted that one day.  Very light brown and I was freaking out also!  I went to the dr. and the baby was just fine.  She said it happens to about 80% or women.  I was 7wks and 3days!  GL

  I had it yesterday too but it is gone today.

  What to Expect When You're Expecting, my doctor, and my friend (who had spotting all through her pregnancy and just delivered a healthy baby girl) all assured me it was no biggie!

  If it is heavy and red and accompanied by cramps, then it's time to worry a little and call the doc..but until then, you're good.

  Try to relax and from everything I've seen posted on here if you are spotting, light brown is a good color! I have not had any spotting with this pregnancy, but my mom said she bled quite a bit at the beginning of her pregnancy with me. Obviously she had a very healthy baby after 9 months!

  I had light brown spotting at 4w1d.  It only lasted 24 hours.  I went in for an u/s today and everything looks ok.  I also had a m/c at the end of Aug so I'm super paranoid right along with you.  Everything seems fine though.

  I woke up to brown spotting this morning that has been on and off all day. Got into my doctor at around 1 pm and had an U/S. Baby had a strong HB and is doing fine. Dr. said he doesn't really know what the bleeding is about, but I shouldn't worry.

  It's normal.  I had it at about 5 weeks.  Did an u/s at 5w4d and 6w4d.  Everything was just right.  Brown blood is old blood.  It could be leftover blood or from implantation bleeding.  Check with your dr but I wouldn't worry unless your dr is worried.  GL

  I had a miscarriage in June.  My Dr. sent me in for a ultrasound at 5 weeks to be sure all was ok.  The day after I bled bright red for about an hour or two with no cramping.  After that I've been having the light brown spotting.  She sent me a week later for follow up ultra sound and all was ok.. Still spotting, but all is well.  I'm a nervous Nelly right now because of my history.  Let's relax and take it easy together.

  thanks, all, for your nice and helpful thoughts.  i'm 7 weeks 5 days today, and we heard the HB last friday at an ultrasound at 7 weeks.  so i am trying to tell myself that all is fine and i'll get in touch with the doctor tomorrow to talk with her.  so hard to relax, though!

  I've been having light brown spotting for almost a week. Doctor seems to think it's no cause for concern, but I've only talked to them on the phone. I'm debating trying to get them to move my u/s up from the Wednesday before Thanksgiving to tomorrow or Friday. Everyone says brown spotting can be normal, but after you've been through a m/c like you and I have, we just need to KNOW! I'm definitely freaking out, and have had a hard time being excited about being pregnant, and being almost 8 weeks pregnant since this spotting has been going on. I totally sympathize with you, and hope we both get good news!

  I had some around 6 weeks and then went for u/s at my 1st appt. and all was well.  The spotting stopped after like 2 days.  Then this past weekend I noticed a little more brown spotting.  It was gone Monday and yesterday now today it's back.  I called the Dr. b/c it was freaking me out and they said it's most likely nothing to worry about but since I was all nervous they are doing an u/s tomorrow just to be sure.

  i've been spotting light brown for two weeks two days now, and my doctor said it's nothing to worry about.  i had bloodwork done, and an ultrasound and everything looked great.  saw the heartbeat and everything.  i know it can be very stressful, but try not to get too worked up just yet (i know, easier said than done)
