Brown discharge

Hi all, I had very light brown discharge this morning and it freaked me out. It was only a few drops without any spotting or pain and has stopped but I’m still very anxious.
I’m 9 weeks today. Has anyone else dealt with something similar?

Yes , been dealing with it since week 5,‘I’m almost at 9 week. I bleed a little of bright red blood at week 7 and went to ER, everything was fine and baby had a strong heart beat. Brown discharge is normal, as long you don’t have heavy bright red bleeding with clogs and extreme back pain. So don’t get too nervous . You can go check for peace of mind , but I been having brown discharge since very early and baby growing healthy n strong .

Likely old blood leaving contact ur ob just in case tho 💗 I wouldn’t worry imo

Brown is fine! Means no active bleeding. Usually just irritation if the cervix which is so easy to do! I had a bunch of it at 5 weeks and freaked out and went to see my midwife. Everything is fine now. Lots of bleeding, bright red blood, or period like cramping is what is concerning.

My cervix keeps getting irritated because of straining due to constipation TMI but that’s why I’ve been getting brown bleeding since week 5. The cervix is really sensitive so it doesn’t take much to cause it

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

2nd pregnancy after c section

I’m not planning on getting pregnant anytime soon but in the future possibly. I just wanted to know how is pregnancy after c section like my fear is having to go through another emergency operation or even putting strain on my incision during pregnancy

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.

Baby Movements

Hello, I’m a FTM currently 18W5D pregnant. I’ve been getting this tugging feeling in my stomach after I eat, it’s uncomfortable but not painful. I don’t know whether that’s the baby moving or round ligaments pain.

I’ve also been getting round ligament pain which is either a sharp stabbing pain or a stretching sensation. These happens whether or not I’ve eaten while the tugging feeling is only after I’ve eaten.

So, could the tugging feeling be the baby or something else.

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.
