Spotting: How long does it last?

I am 10wks pregnant and started spotting about 4 days ago. (Not really flowing or heavy at all) At first it was very light pink, then the next day was more brown discharge. I went to the Doc Thursday morning and they heard a heartbeat and made sure I wasn't dilated at all. This morning I noticed more brown. Does anyone have an idea of how long it lasts? I get scared every time I see discharge.

I only spotted once around 14 weeks or so light pink and haven't had any other bleeding as of yet but from what I have gathered some women actually can bleed their entire pregnancy so it just depends but I would say if u have told doc and they are not concerned don't worry but if the color or flow changes definitely let doc know so they can check u and baby

I can't say how long it'll last it seems to be different with every woman. I experienced this too and my doctor told me it happens because your body isn't getting s period but still has .ro flush some old stuff out its common in 8-12 weeks to happen for a few days. I was assured the brown was a good sign cause that's old blood from when you got periods not new bleeding. Just try to relax rest as much as you can with legs level and drink tons of water that's what they told me.
