Spotting! - Homeland,CA

Spotting is always scary. I've had experience with spotting during the 1st trimester. This last time we think it was due to an "absorbed twin." This is where there is a second embryo that is fertilized and multiplying but doesn't implant. It all stopped by the end of the trimester and the other embryo was absolutely fine. Today, I have a beautiful 4 month old son! Stay positive and follow the advice of your OB. You'll be in my prayers.

P.S. I'm an older mom too.

I spotted with both of my children from about 6 weeks until I was about 10 weeks. It was enough to wear a thin panty liner and was was a pinkish brown. My doctor pulled told me not to worry about it as long as it was not bright red...he also pulled me from work for about a week my first one, however with the second he pulled me for the entire pregancy due to other complications. Hipe this helps...my prayers are with you.

(((hugs))) do you still feel pregnant? I had brown spotting and it ended up in a missed miscarriage. I also spotted in my second pregnancy for 3 months and I was fine. Really examine yourself and if you still feel pregnant you are probably okay, if you don't feel pregnant, then hopefully you have a good OB that won't let things drag out.

I spotted for about two weeks from 6.5wks-8.5wks some of it bright red. They ran all sorts of blood test and and did u/s to find out where it was coming from...no clue. My DS is 6.5months now sometimes the body does things and we never know why. Good Luck and as hard as it is try to not stress.
