ok. lets take things from the beginning. You have every right to be concerned. But in that statement....
Mild cramping in normal in the begining of a pregnancy. It is just your bpdy adjusting to having a growing baby inside of you. I cramped for about 9 - 10 weeks.
Brown blood is ok. That is OLD blood. Bright red blood is a cause for concern but brown blood may just be left over from your last period or nothing serious. Brown blood is not bad.
Congrats on finding out you are prego and dont worry about asking questions. You have a right to be concerned - it is your body and now you have another body growing inside you. Yea!!

Many women have mild bleeding during the first trimester of pregnancy - that does not mean anything is wrong it just happens. The cramping is probably nothing to worry about either. Listen to your doctor and get off your feet and in the bed - let someone special pamper you for the next 24 hrs.
I know it won't help to say this but stop worrying - the more you worry the more stress you are putting on yourself and the baby. If the doctor was really worried you would be on the way to the emergency room already.

It honestly could go either way for you, hon. Sometimes people spot when they're pregnant and things go perfectly fine for them. Other people spot before miscarrying, and at this point there isn't much that can be done. That said, your dr. will be able to give you more information tomorrow. They can give you a blood test and see what your horomone levels look like, or maybe send you in for an ultrasound and check on how things are developing.
From personal experience, I know better than to tell you not to worry. But please try to rest and distract yourself the best you can. It seems like it's too early to tell. I'll say a prayer for you and hope for the best. Stay strong.

Just listen too the doctors instruction and try to stay off your feet. Relax and try not too let it get to you. I could understand if you are feeling nervous.
I had a similar situation with my middle son and I thought that he was not going to make because the doctor said that they was something wrong. But I just took it easy and my little boy was fine. However, I did have him at 23 weeks (5 Mth's) he weighed 1 pound 8 ounces. I thought that he would not make it because he was so small but now he is 7 years old and doing well.... Good Luck to you and do not worry.. Just take it easy...

Don't worry sweetie, everything is fine. Brown blood is old blood. It is more than likely just everything getting situated inside of you. Don't panic, it's hard on you and the baby too. A lot of women spot brown through their entire pregnancy.
Rest and Relax
Good luck, and God Bless!

YES! Brown Blood is ok! Brown blood means that its old blood. The cramping is normal for the first trimester because your muscles are stretching and making room for the fetus, its called round ligment pain. But like your doctor said, take it easy, you dont want to cause anymore discomfort. But like I said brown blood is old blood. The pinkish and bright red blood would mean new fresh blood.

I had some spotting at about that time, (i actuallly didn't know I was pregnant and thought it was a funky period) - it all worked out fine, he's 5 1/2 months old now and the joy of my life!
good luck tomorrow, try to get some rest.

You know if your doctor thought it was a miscarriage they would have had you come in today...try to breathe deep and relax.
You are not doing yourself any good by getting upset. Sometimes this is common...try not to worry about it!!!
Spotting is not unusual But may be a warning sign for the doctor to take more than the average exam...
good luck

I am going to say that word any way but only to tell you that it does not sound like a miscarriage to me. Do what the doc said and get rest until your appointment. Good Luck and God Bless!P~

This could be implantation bleeding basically the egg is burrowing into the uterine lining which u normally shed on ur period but since u r prego its not shedding and ur fertilized egg is burrowing to start growing.
