I am a first time mom and 6 weeks pregnant. I was having brown spotting and my Dr. gave me progresterone as a precaution to take every night. Then the other day I had some red spotting but no cramping. My Dr. doubled the progesterone and it stopped again but it really scares me. The Dr. said it shouldnt be something to worry about but that we will keep an eye on it. Did anyone else experience any bleeding early on? I am trying not to worry but it is hard when you want to keep your little sweet pea so badly!


Thank you Megan :) That actually makes me feel a lot better. It was so scary at first! Did it make you nervous at all? I haven't had enough bleeding to even land on a pad, it was just when I would wipe. I had an ultra sound at 5 weeks and I get another next friday. I am excited to hear the heart beat :)

I had both red and brown bleeding. My doctor said to just take it easy for a day and if it wasnt period like bleeding not to worry. I went in the next day for a sonogram and everythng was fine. I contintued bleeding on and off for a few weeks. Doc told me about 40 percent of women have some bleeding. I went all through my pregnancy fine and had a beautiful baby girl on April 19 who is healthy, happy and very active!


I didn't but my sister did and she gave birth to a perfectly healty baby. Good luck!
