  • 8 weeks Pregnant With Endemetriosis

    QUESTION

    Dear Midwife,
    Hi, I found out last week that I was 7, now 8, weeks pregnant. I have been having some abdominal cramping and was reassured that is ok as long as there isn't any major cramping or blood. Last night, however, I noticed some mucus discharge with a little bit of brown, after peeing. Is this still ok?

    This is my first time and an unexpected pregnancy.
