  • Ultrasound Shows Small Bleed

    QUESTION

    Dear Ms Ultrasound,
    I went in today for my first ultrasound to confirm my due date. Everything with the baby looked great. My due date was right on and the baby's heart beat was 145bpm. I am 7 weeks and 3 days.

    Last week when I first woke up and used the bathroom there was a tiny amount of blood and when I wiped, it was a pinkish/brown. I had no cramping or anything and when I called the doctor they said it was probably old. I have had no other bleeding since then.

  • 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.

  • Spotting at 7 Weeks

    QUESTION

    Dear Midwife,
    I'm 7 weeks pregnant and I just started spotting. I've had a miscarriage in the past and am extremely nervous.

    The bleeding is very light, sort of mucousy, and I'm only slightly crampy, but I've been slightly crampy for weeks now. Could this be late implantation? Or should I be worried that it's something more serious?

    Thank you!

    QUESTION

    Dear Midwife,
    On August 8 I had my menstrual cycle it was irregular. It lasted three days. A week or two later my breasts and tooth started to hurt and I was craving ice lattes. I don’t like coffee like that.

    I was waiting on my period because I thought I was about to come on because of the cramping. But it didn’t, on September 5 I found out I was five weeks pregnant.

  • Is Cramping at Four Weeks Normal?

    QUESTION

  • Progesterone Suppository & Bleeding

    QUESTION

    Dear Midwife,
    I am 5 weeks pregnant and have been on progesterone suppositories since my IUI procedures.

    This morning I noticed grey/brown spotting with a little red mixed in. The amount was fairly small, just enough to partially fill a small panty liner. My RE said he didn't think it was anything to worry about and to just take it easy today.

    While I trust my RE, I'm still very scared that I am about to miscarry again. Other than M/C, what could cause bleeding like this?

  • Is This Spotting Implantation?

    QUESTION

    Dear Midwife,
    I am on the pill and had my period as normal from November 26th until December 2nd. On the 5th of December I had sex. Then on the 8th of December I started to notice brown spotting. I only needed to wear a panty liner as it wasn't heavy. I stopped this spotting on 9th. I am due my next period on December 24th. Could the brown spotting be an implantation bleed? Can you get pregnant that soon after having a period? I thought it had to be when I ovulate?
