Brown Spotting 23 weeks

[Saskiahope]

Just on here to seek out a little reassurance.

Throughout my pregnancy I’ve had lots of brown spotting and have had to get used to it, scans were good and everything seemed to indicate that it was just one of those things. I’ve then had the blissful experience of no spotting for weeks and weeks, however yesterday the brown spotting returned and I had a bit yesterday and a bit this evening.

I’m gonna monitor tonight as in the past I’ve always been told to just monitor for if it turns to red fresh blood, which it absolutely isn’t at present, just brown, but I will likely ring the midwife tomorrow to see if they will check me out a little.

Has anyone else had spotting at this stage of pregnancy?

Any positive stories would be really helpful, I will update this post later re what happens tomorrow with the phone call to the midwife etc.

Thanks in advance x

Just a little update.

I phoned the midwives and was told to go in for a check up. They were great and did a listen into the heart beat, which was strong and normal and then they did an internal check and swabs. They concluded that they couldn’t be sure why I was getting the spotting from the check, but following the results if the swabs showed nothing (specifically an infection) then it may just be one of those unknown things. I never got a call back so that means as far as I know that the swabs didn’t show any infection, therefore I guess it’s just my bag for this pregnancy and in this instance (touch wood) the spotting is nothing to worry about.

The spotting has stopped now so onwards and upwards! To be continued!

You think the getting pregnant bit is gonna be the most stressful and worrying but I must admit I’ve found being pregnant quite worrying at many points too!

I hope everyone else is doing ok and sending you all my thoughts and well wishes xxx
