Brown spotting question

in September 2013 Moms
I'm sorry I know a lot of people have already posted about this. But this morning after I woke up I used the bathroom and saw a small piece of brown tissuey stuff in the toilet. Then I wiped a few. more times and saw light brown watery blood. I am freaking out right now and I know it's pretty common but it's still Scarey to me. I'm 6w2d how long should I monitor this before calling my OB? And. If you've experienced this how long did the spotting last? Thanks ladies.

    They say as long as you don't have cramping and it's not red blood you're okay.  I'd give your doctor a call and let them know what's going on and let them tell you what to do.  They're used to nervous calls from pregnant ladies, they'll let you talk to a nurse.  Good luck!

    I started spotting on Saturday and I am still spotting. I called my ob this morning and they brought me in for a transvaginal ultrasound today in order to check things out. I think it's very common but I completly understand being freaked out. It doesn't hurt to call if you are very concerned.

    I have been spotting for almost a week, but it is only sometimes and I only see it when I wipe. It made me nervous but the nurse told me it may be caused from sex and that it should go away after a week. Its coming up on a week and it has not gone away completly but I am not too worried about it.

    I spotted at 6wks exactly only lasted a day but my OB wanted me to come in just as a percaution. I dot wanna worry you but for peace of mind I would call ur OB office. I was so much more calm when I went in and she said everything was fine and spotting is normal as long as its brown and not flowing like a period and u do t need a pad.

    Thank you all so much. It's difficult not to worry, but I just spoke with my Dr. And she said all of the same things you guys said. Ill try not to worry too much. Thanks again for your words!

    I agree with what has been said already. My mother spotted through all of her pregnancies and everything was fine. I know it can be scary and I know in rare instances that brown spotting can in fact be a sign of miscarriage because it happened to me. But really, it is completely normal! If it's really concerning you I would call the doctor. At 6w2d they might not be able to see too much though.
