this happened to me when i was about 4 weeks pregnant. went to emergency room turned out that this can happen when the baby implants into the wall of the uterus (is what they told me). if you are worried go to your general doctor. there is a blood test they can do to get a count of a hormone that is produced when you are pregnant. this count continues to increase daily so you will have to have two tests possibly a couple of days apart. also if they think there might be an issue they maybe able to schedule a high power ultra sound (this was done for me at the er but the bill was not cheap ( a couple of grand for that er trip but insurance covered most and definitely put my mind at ease) hope all is okay
on friday 6/19 i will be 5 weeks pregnant i found out on tuesday 6/16 was having brownish spotting a couple days prior. before i found out i was right around the time of my cycle roughly a week late maybe a little less and i am still having brownish spotting with a minute amount of pieces of tissue (i assume). i also have very mild cramping not like period cramping a lot less but just enough to notice sometimes i get a pain that shoots across my stomach (like a nerve misfiring). not necessarily painful but i notice it. is this normal what can i do to help? this is my first so i suppose i am nervous.
