I am currently 10 weeks, and am having pink/brown spotting. Not enough for a panty liner but enough to notice on toilet paper for sure. I just had intercourse two days ago which was quite uncomfortable during but didn’t bleed during or later that night. I did notice the spotting the following day on and off and then this morning. I’m not having any pain, but concerned as to why I’m having spotting now at 10 weeks.
In case you don’t want to dive into loss support... I had spotting with both my pregnancy’s at 8-10 weeks. Call your OB/midwife always. They give you the best and only advice you should take. But if it makes you rest easy tonight. Both my baby’s turned out healthy and it was nothing. Light pink or brown spotting could be anything. Does not necessarily mean you are going to loose your baby.
I haven't personally had spotting but I do have a friend that just had her baby 2 days ago (healthy little girl) but early in her pregnancy she started reaching out to everyone for support and prayers due to significant bleeding. She seen her doctor, then a specialist to take closer look and decipher what could be happening since the baby seemed fine. They explained to her that early in pregnancy it wasn't uncommon to experience a slight hemorrhage and frequent bleeding (as long as it wasn't a significant amount) but they would monitor the bleeding and watch the baby. It was in fact something to do with the placenta and how it was attached. So, they had concern about the safety of the pregnancy and placed her on light weight lifting as if bed rest (but not, if that makes sense). I would say *any bleeding would be worth the mention to your doctor just to set your mind at ease. If it gets worse, you probably should be in frequent contact with your doctor for regular check-ups! Well wishes!! ❤
I had spotting at 6 weeks and mild period like cramping. It lasted about 24 hours. It was noticeable on toilet paper but not on my underwear. I called my doctor and she said it could be a sign of something wrong because it was accompanied with cramping. It stopped and since then there has been nothing. I had my ultrasound yesterday and we got to see the heartbeat. I’m hoping it was just a one time thing. I’ve never experienced this with my previous pregnancies.

Call your Dr. to rest your mind!
Wish you the best of luck!
Thanks for this! that support group was very long and I felt like it was a lot of loss related and made me feel more nervous. I ended up getting an US at my OBs office, and they found a subchorionic hematoma--which I had in my first pregnancy so was relieved to able to see it on the US this time.
Thanks everyone who responded, I appreciate your support. US was done to confirm a subchorionic hematoma! I didn't expect to still have spotting at 10/11 weeks, but was glad to be able to see it on an US!
I am very physical and active, and though maybe I overdid it causing me to lose the baby--silly to think in hindsight but your mind just can't stop racing!
