I am 4 weeks pregnant and I am spotting.
I called my doctor and got no answers.
what could this mean???
I have no pain and the bleeding stops if I keep my feet up
and relax is this normal????
If the bleeding is brownish and light it could be implantation bleeding which occurs about the same time you would have had your period.
It should stop on it's own in a day or two. If the bleeding becomes heavy with clots or tissue and you have cramping you should call your doctor.
About 50% of women who bleed during pregnancy go on to have a normal pregnancy. I would only become concerned if you start to have lower back pain
and/or cramping. Hope this helps!
