Please Help!!!

I know people ask this question all the time. And I'm one of the ones who says its normal. But I'm scared. I'm about 7 maybe 8 weeks pregnant and have been having some brownish reddish discharge for the past few days. Nothing major just when I wipe. But today, just now it changed to a light pinkish red. I had a miscarriage 2 months ago and I'm so afraid its happening again. I've had a little cramping but nothing painful. I assumed it was just my utures growing and didn't pay any attention to it. But now I'm starting to worry. Please ladies, now its my turn, I need some advice. Some reassurance. I know people spot early, like implantation bleeding but isn't it to late for that? Please help me ladies. Is this really normal?

A little spotting is usually not cause for alarm during the 1st trimester of pregnancy.

Have you had sex recently or an internal exam?  Both of these things can lead to spotting up to 4 or so days later, in some cases.

No and no...I've kinda put myself on pelvic rest because I don't want to lose this baby. So yeah...I haven't been doin anything really that could cause bleeding. That's why I'm so worried, because I've been so careful.

its normal to spot like you said in the first trimester, if there isnt alot and your not having painful cramps, or clots, then i wouldnt stress over it. Stress will make things worse. If you want some more reassurance then i advise you to make a doctors appt, or even go to emerg, because then they'll do an ultrasound and that will ease your mind. Good luck and keep us posted

I would simply call the doc and ask if they can do an early ultrasound. Hubby and I have had two MC;s and when I told my new doc this - she sent us for a US at 10 weeks and literally wrote on the page VIABILITY. A quick and simple ultrasound to check that the baby has taken and that things are progressing. Having been through 2 mc's (one a missed mc - and one very early one) I would not have the patience to wait around for answers. I hope all goes well with your preg. No matter what you need to stay positive and have confidence in this little baby :) It needs your support from day 1. Hugs!
