The exact same thing happened to me at almost the exact same amount of weeks gestation. I wld describe the discharge as salmon colored. It scared me also. I lasted about 3 days and was only present when I wiped,usually after my first "tinkle" of the morning. It went away. And that was about a month ago. Thank God the both my baby and I are doing fine. I was described by my specialist as "extremely high risk" so I get checked every other week. And my every other week visits started at my first appt at 7 weeks. So I have gotten an ultrasound at almost every visit. So I guess that the discharge was just a pregnancy symptom. BC it did not cause a problem,thank god. I wld just watch it and make sure that it doesn't get worst. I wld say watch for cramps but some cramping is totally normal BC I had cramps up until abt 19 or 20 weeks and through my internet research I have found that a lot of other women do also. But just watch it and may God bless.

well i think as long as it doesn't get heavier or you get really bad cramps, its okay...but call the doctors anyway, just to be safe :) its okay to spot while you are pregnant every now and then, sometimes you can spot a bit after sex,but please call the doctor :)
