Brown Spotting

I just found out I was 4weeks pregnant a week ago but I have been having brown discharge/spotting ever since , it’s mostly when I go to wipe when am peeing in the toilet. I called the EPU and they told me to monitor and give them a call in the event there is any changes. Anyone else who has experienced this ? It’s my first pregnancy?

I had spotting from 5 weeks but was a pink colour. Brown would suggest old blood so potentially implantation bleeding. I would monitor for a couple of days and if you are still concerned contact your EPU again or GP.

I’m 5 weeks and started spotting yesterday. It was sortve brown discharge. I had the same (but worse) for my first pregnancy. It was a hematoma. I have a healthy two year old now. I’m worried the second time around though as I’ve no idea what’s causing this.

I think it can be caused by a variety of reasons though!

I had brown spotting from 5 weeks until just over 3 months. It was so scary but I hope I can give you hope that it can be normal. I am now 37+2 and baby is doing well x

I had spotting with my first like this, they said most likely implantation spotting after scanning me and everything fine. He’s now 2.
I had it again with this pregnancy earlier on but with some red blood too, they examined me and I have a cervical Ectropion (harmless). I’m now 18 weeks tomorrow.

There’s a few reasons for spotting but if you are very anxious tell them your mental health is being affected and they might see you, nothing worse than being petrified whilst pregnant x

Kids in delivery room?

Im due in October, my 9 year old wants to be in the delivery room. I think it would be so special and of course I'd love her there. Im just curious on how to navigate, how to prep her, or if its even a good idea at all. My daughter's daddy passed in 2021, and the father of this baby unfortunately will not be making it to the birth, so it'll be my mom and best friend. And we shall see about my girl. Any advice, tips or words of encouragement are greatly appreciated 🤍

Early labour pressure ??

Has any one else experienced really bad pressure/ hemorroids, I’m 37 weeks today and had such loose bowel movements but today it’s got 10x worse I was screaming with pain. I had to run to the bathroom and it felt like the babies head was ready to come out with the pressure I was having (literally felt like ring of fire) how do I know if it’s just hemorroids or early labour pressure as I’ve been told by my midwife his head is engaged 😩😩 sooo painful.

Early labour signs

I’m 38+2 and have been experiencing some cramping and quite intense contractions. The first time it happened was at 37+5, and I honestly thought I was going into labour, so I called triage. I was advised to take some paracetamol and monitor how things went on.
It happened again recently, but this time I didn’t call. The cramps and contractions were really intense and lasted for about two hours.

Just wondering if anyone else has/had experienced anything similar?
