Brown Spotting in Early Pregnancy: Causes & What to Do

Question
I am 11 1/2 weeks pregnant and I have been spotting of and on brown mucus since 7 weeks pregnant.  At 7 weeks we had a scan and saw a fetal heart beat. I am getting concerned because with my first pregnancy I had no spotting and now I am spotting at least once a week.  Not much just a couple of spots or when I wipe then it stops until about the same time the following week.  Why would this be?

Answer
Dear Karen

This can be a threatening miscarriage. Therefore, avoidance of household activites, all forms of sex, sports...etc is needed till you have a pelvic ultrasound to make a proper diagnosis and this should be as early as you can.

Avoidane of these activites and rest are a must till you get the final diagnosis by ultrasound.

Good Luck
