Brown Discharge

I’m 12w6d today and I started having brown discharge last night and this morning. I’ve not spotted at all during my pregnancy so I was just a little worried. It happened last night before I went to bed. And this morning I went pee and wiped and it’s still there. I posted the photo in the comments, should I be concerned???

Edit: I will add I’ve had very light cramping yesterday and today too. Nothing severe at all, it’s been light.

I’ve heard that it can be very common but I would keep monitoring it to see if it gets heavy or bright red. I’m 12 weeks today and haven’t spotted my whole pregnancy. I’m constantly checking because of a previous miscarriage but the research suggests that brown spotting can be totally normal esp later like this because of all the changes involving the placenta taking over :)

I had some like that with my last pregnancy. It's not bright red, like it's fresh, so it's not an immediate threat. With mine, it was a subchorionic hematoma, which can just happen, but isn't a direct threat to your baby. You're moving in to your second trimester soon and spotting can be normal with the baby moving up out of your uterus and in to the womb.

I have a Subchorionic hematoma and this kind of discharge has been pretty common the entire time.
Sometimes it looks scarier than it is. But just keep an eye on it. Try to take it easy and if it seems to get more contact your midwife or obgyn

Same! I just had my 12 week appointment and she said this was normal and to be expected. It’s when there’s any heavy bleeding (like when on period) you should be concerned 😅

WATER

Anyone else wake up randomly in the middle of night and just chug a ton of water? I swear most of my water intake happens between the hours of 12-3am😅 I’m talking almost an entire 32oz water bottle lol (also and exclusive pumper so not sure if that influences it all)

I am having a chemical pregnancy or just early?

I found out I am pregnant a week ago (I am 4 weeks 5 days pregnant) I am only 4 days late as I found out very early. I have been testing since and my test are staying the same. Has this happened to anyone else? I don’t have much pain just on and off cramps every now and again, no bleeding. I started testing with the pink strips on Wednesday. Should I be worried? Is it normal for my test to stay the same? Other test in comments.

Funny story 😭😭😩

So I am on this weight loss journey but sometimes I get lazy or feel like I’m not using the bathroom enough because I eat a lot of protein.
So I decided to drink 2 laxatives this morning with my coffee.. all of a sudden I’m super nauseous and feel literally sick to my stomach and I’m over here almost crying thinking I’m about to die like what is wrong with me ..
Ran to the bathroom because everything hurts
And it all clicks.. I drank 2 laxatives pills and that’s why my stomach hurts
Mind you I’ve done this like 3 times already and already experience the same amnesia 🤣🤣🤣
MOMMY BRAIN OR WHATTTT
