I am about 5-6 weeks and have been spotting lightly for about a week or so, it is mainly visible when I wipe. Is this a sign of miscarriage and if so, how long do miscarriages take to complete? I have no pain or cramping but have been vomitting more than usual.

I had two miscarriages. The first one I had light spotting like you describe. I went to doc had a ultrasound and the baby had no more heartbeat. You need to get ultrasound. I passed the baby about a week after spotting it was really gross and I had to save it and bring it into doctor so he could examine it. One good thing is you are still vomitting this may be a sign that you are still pregnant and all is ok. So I would say go to doc. as soon as possible and get ultrasound to see what is going on. Good luck hopefully all is ok.

I dont mean to worry you, but i had light spotting (brown in colour) only when i wiped for about a week when i was 7 weeks, then 8 days later i had a blood (still not loads ) but was more red. Went hospital and he said was not miscarriage. Then a couple of days later i had some light cramps. Then on day 12 i miscarried.
Hope its different for you , i really would go doctors then get a 2nd opion.

Contact your Dr as soon as possible! Always. But the Dr told me the difference is if you are miscarrying the blood is usually dark and jelly like (old blood) and not bright red or pink. Spotting is normal. Pls don't stress because this could cause a even bigger problem and pls don't ask questions like that on here because every pregnancy is different depending on the person and you don't need all the horror stories right now! Stay positive!! Vomiting is still a good sign :-)
REST! And call your Dr. I wish you the best :-)

A miscarriage would involve a lot of blood and cramping. If you're really concerned, you should talk to your doctor. Usually if the blood is not bright red and you're not cramping it's nothing serious; but no one here can tell you for sure one way or the other. Your doctor will help put your mind at ease and deal with whatever situation may turn up. Good luck!

Sounds to me you're just having some spotting/bleeding, which for some pregnancies/women is normal. The vomiting is most likely morning sickness b/c you're pregnant. If it were a miscarriage, there would be heavy bleeding and most people do feel pain and/or cramping. If you are really worried about it, consult with your dr. about it.

Spotting does not always mean miscarriage! If you start bleeding alot or cramping having clots is a sign! Watch for that..I have had 2 miscarriages One of them was really bad I started bleeding so bad I had to go to the E.R. and have a DNC done..The last one I had just started with a little bleeding and got heavier like my period lasted for 3 days and I was fine I didn't need medical attention...Good luck

Sweetheart, please listen to me. I have had three pregnancies. With the first one I began spotting. I called my Dr. and he said that there is no proof that it helps, but to go to bed and don't get up. I did. My daughter is almost 15.
With my second one I thought 'Oh, this is just what I do when I'm pregnant, no big deal'. I lost the baby at 12 weeks.
With my 3rd pregnancy, I went to bed when I started spotting. Our son just turned 13.
Don't let me scare you. This could be absolutely nothing, but why take chances? Besides, you deserve a little rest.
Go to bed and don't get up until you can call you doctor tomorrow or Tuesday. Then follow his advice. Good luck.

Well i was about 2 mo or so preggers and bled a little but i think it was because this is when i would have had my period and my body was just confused. since you most likey hadn't been to the doc's yet you should be finve. even so the doc won't do anything really if it's in the first trimester or even early second, your body just goes through it's own thing. i think you'll be ok

I wouldn't worry about it much. the vomiting could be caused from morning sickness (even if it doesn't happen in the morning). And that would be normal. You may want to call your doctor and let him know whats going on. Try to relax and GOOD LUCK!

That sounds like implantation bleeding. It happened to me when I was pregnant with my first. As long as it's a light pink and not bright red you're ok. Congrats, it sounds like you're well into the morning sickness stage! Start taking a prenatal vitamin and schedule a OB/GYN appointment if you haven't done these things already. :)
