Dark brown reddish spotting... HELP!

    I had it after a day of running around, speed walking and lots of stairs. Its the most active day I've had in a long time, and I totally bled the next day. OB said its normal and just overexertion on my end. P

    I've had some bleeding around 6 weeks, 9 weeks and 12 weeks, and baby is doing great in there. A lot of things can cause some bleeding, dont fret too much. If it turns bright red and is staining your underwear or liner, however, id go get it checked out just to be sure. 

  • Typically dark or brown blood is old blood. You'll want to keep an eye out if you continue bleeding and it shifts to red. Try to relax and follow your Drs advice.

    I had the same thing every day from weeks 4-6. All is well at week 19 now.
  • That could also happen if you had sex the night before
  • Yes I had it two days after I had sex it's normal if your that worried you can request an ultra sound I did and my baby was fine.
  • I also had it around then. It was old blood from the internal exam with my ob. You should be ok. Just watch it and make sure it doesn't change to new blood (bright red). Mine went away within a week or two.
  • Did you have a Bowel movement with straining before ?
  • Happened to me around week 10 I think. The dr never figured out why but I kept panicking so the dr checked and everything was fine.
