Spotting Light Brown for 2 Weeks Off & ON

I am currently 8 weeks pregnant with m 2nd child.  I have been spotting light, light brown for about 2 weeks now off & on.  Do you think I might be having a m/c?  I seem to spot with all my pregnancies but it seems to only be for a day or 2.  I did have 2 very tiny clots last week.  I haven't had any cramps or anything?  What do you think?

Hey everybody!

Thanks for all the awesome advice.  I went to the clinic where the DR there did an internal exam & told me right away I was going to have a m/c.  I went for a u/s the next day & the tech told me everything was fine, I was measuring according to my dates & even showed me the h/b!!  I almost screamed when I saw it!!  I didn't think the baby was alive because the DR @ the clinic told me i was m/c!!  So everything is fine now..the spotting stopped (right after I got the u/s) so I must of been making myself go crazy!!

Hi jenhottie
The best advice is to stay positive!!!!!  Brown blood or slight bleeding is normal in pregnancies especially in the early weeks.  My sister had brown blood for a week when she was 10 weeks pregnant and carried a healthy baby.  I also have a friend that was about 11 weeks pregnant and she had red blood and brown blood on and off and she is still pregnant.  Unfortunately it wasn't that positive in my case but everyone is different.  I think you should just go and see your doctor and make them aware of your concerns.  I al

I hope all goes well and your little bean is just playing with you :).  Let us know how everything turns out.  Just stay positive, I know how concerning it can be but try not to let it play with your emotions!!

Probably just old blood from when the baby implanted that is working it's way down.  I would not really worry about it unless the bleeding gets bright red or heaving with cramping.  I had some actually bright red bleeding at about 10 weeks and when they did the ultrasound they said some blood was in between the baby and cervix from when the baby implanted and that was probably what it was from.  Good luck and a happy healthy pregnancy.

I would call and make an appt with your OB Dr spotting CAN be normal but the little blood clots would concern me. I recently was diagnosed with a blightened ovum and I never spotted nor cramped I thought everything was good but it wasnt. Im not trying to scare you but I would definately see a Dr. I hope all goes good!!
