Yeah, I've read about some women bleeding throughout their pregnancy and everything being fine (Ever watch, "I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant"?).  So scary though. And so glad the u/s was good.  That's the most important test I think.  Congratulations.

Thanks..and my visit to the ER was because of bright red blood..they said it varies in pregnancies some women can have bleeding throughout it and have a healthy baby I guess its just Gods will.. luckily I was fine this time..the bleeding occured around the time I should have expected my normal period...I've had some light cramping but I was told it is normal..I just hope my baby and I will be fine.. we had been ttc for almost 2 years!

If they say bedrest, then bedrest.  Apparently brown discharge is old blood and not abnormal.  When I had a m/c, it was bright red. It started as spotting then started to flow. I went to emerg and my HCG numbers were off.  Yours are good so that's a good sign and so is the brown spotting instead of bright red.  It's so scary and there's nothing you can do but rest, try and stay calm and love the baby within for however long it is able to stay with you.  Sending you SSBD!  Please keep us updated.
