Brown spotting?
This is my third pregnancy. I am 4 weeks 1 day pregnant (confirmed via blood test at 3 weeks 6 days). Last night and this morning I have some brown spotting. I didn't have this with my other 2 pregnancies. I have had 2 miscarriages since October and neither of them started out like this either. I'm so confused. I have some slight cramping, but that feels normal. With my miscarriages, the cramps were intense and I had almost immediate heavy bleeding. Could this be the beginning of a third miscarriage or is this normal?

It's hard to say, unfortunately, ur gonna have to wait and see.
I had a mc at 7wks that started out as brown spotting, only after using the toilet. I didn't have betas done, but tests kept getting darker and CB made it to 3+, which it never did with my DD. That spotting carried on til 6w6d, then it was just a flood that nite. Zero cramping the entire time. I really thought it was gonna be ok (til the bleed). My OB sent me to the ER the next am and an U/S revealed an empty uterus. With my son, I had brown cm after every bathroom trip that carried on til 8wks, then got a bit heavier, but still just brown spotting. At 10wks, I jumped in the shower, and after a few minutes, started bleeding heavily. I went to the ER, they did bw and an U/S, he was happily flopping around in there, and I had a large subchorionic hemmorhage. It really can go either way at this point. Sorry I couldn't give u a definitive answer.
Congrats on the pregnancy! Stay positive!! =))

Oh I hear ya! I had a CP before and after the MC, and they were both heavy flow and cramping. My son was the only of my 3 kids that I've had any spotting or bleeding. It's not a very nice feeling, scary is a good word to describe it.
Do u have a doctor appt coming up? See if u can have more bw done, it might help ease ur mind...or give u an idea of what's going on. The early weeks shouldn't be this nerve wracking!!
