scared of a miscarriage

I will be 8 week tomorrow.  I had my first ultrasound on Tuesday and the doctor said that everything looked healthy and we saw the heartbeat. I've been having some occasional brown spotting that doctor wasn't too coerced with. What are statistics of losing a baby at this time?

It's natural to worry :-) I still do and I'm 26 weeks.

Once you see the heart beat at 8 weeks chances of healthy pregnancy increase significantly! I wouldn't be worried if the doctor isn't. Did he say when he wants you to come back? My doctor does every 4 weeks until week 28 if everything is healthy, so that can be an indicator of of they're worried or not. Sounds like everything is fine though!

Brown spotting is normal. It's when it's bright red and accompanied with cramping that it could be a concern. I would relax and enjoy your pregnancy! Everything will be great!☺

Brown blood is old blood. Only be concerned if it turns bright red.

You should probably Google it. But spotting is normal unless its accompanied with severe pain. Don't stress out. This is my second pregnancy and so many women I see are scared and say everyone gets scared. But I've never gotten scared I don't seethe ppoint in stressing myself out.
