Helppp!!!! SCARED

[xxxdaisyxxx]

Just woke up this morning and found brown spots on my undies and when I wiped with a tissue my mucus was brown instead of creamy colour, is this normal? When will it stop? And have also notice I always get pains at the upper part of my belly, that also normal?

Try not to panic, how many weeks are you? brown blood is 'old' blood

I bled from the day after my period should of come.....for a month it was brown to pink to red then brown...it changed everyday...but was never heavy bu some people on here have had heavy bleeds and everything has been ok but do get checked out, go to ur g.p and they should refer u for an early scan to make sure all is ok x

I had the same at around 6-7 weeks; I had an early scan at 7 weeks and all was fine. I think 5 weeks will be too early for a scan as the heartbeat isn't usually picked up until closer to 7 weeks.

It's easy to say try not to panic but at that early scan, I was told at my early scan that unless it's red blood and a fair bit of it, it's unlikely to be anything to be concerned about.

Unless you experience further discharge or it bleeds red then try not to worry (easier said than done I know) x

I had brown discharge when I was pregnant and it normally came when my period was due, it only lasted a few toilet visits each time. Put a panty liner on and monitor it, there is nothing you can do apart from take it easy and if it turns to blood then contact your doc.

I had brown, old blood spotting every day from week 5 to week 8 in my pregnancy. I notified my GP and he immediately referred me for an early pregnancy scan to check if the embryo was OK. Thankfully everything was fine. Spotting is quite common in pregnancy but for peace of mind I would suggest that you visit your GP.
