I’m around 7 weeks pregnant and I’ve been having on and off spotting for about 7 days now. It started as light brown spotting, and today I noticed a small amount of dark brown, jelly-like/stringy blood (only once). The bleeding isn’t heavy — mostly just when I wipe, and sometimes there’s nothing there at all.
I’ve got a scan booked for Friday, but I’m feeling really anxious waiting and unsure what to make of it. I’ve read that brown blood and small clots can sometimes be normal in early pregnancy, but it’s hard not to worry.
Has anyone else experienced something similar and gone on to have a healthy pregnancy? Or even if it wasn’t, what was your experience?
I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who’s been through something similar while I wait for my scan.

I had it from 7 weeks up until about 16 weeks, it was due to something called a subchorionic haematoma. I now have a perfectly healthy 9.5 month old.
Hope it goes well for you!

i had the same with the spotting and then a big gush of red blood, this happened while i was on holiday so i went to the early pregnancy unit as soon as i got back thinking id lost the baby but she had a wonderful strong heartbeat and they said there was just some bleeding around the sack that needed to come out and that everything was okay
