7 week Spotting

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!

Sick

Hey, I’m 25 weeks tomorrow. At 4am I woke up and my stomach was gurgling loudly. I went to the bathroom and it was complete water coming out. I went back to bed and an hour and a half later was back in the bathroom. I attempted to go to work (8:45 start). By 9:30 I had gone to the bathroom twice and at 10 I went and ended up throwing up my breakfast (into a garbage can) as I was on the toilet. I went home at 12 and forced myself to eat a few Wheat Thins and sip some water. I fell asleep till 4 and then was back in the bathroom. I’ve been in and out of sleep since. I’m worried about dehydration and the lack of me being able to eat for my baby. What should I do?

Is this normal?

Anytime i eat anything no matter what it is, or how little I eat of it, I immediately get tired, nauseous, sometimes dizzy and like my energy is drained. I usually have to get all my cleaning / house chores done before like 3pm so that I can eat something but not be stuck with a messy house. I'm gonna talk to a doctor i just need to make an appointment but I'm curious if anyone else has experienced these symptoms?
