Well I already went and they did scare me a lot
They didn't even tell me why I was really bleeding
They just told me to go to my doctor which I barley decided which one I'm wanted to go
Okay I might have not heard the heart beat But I did see it (:
Thank u for the advice

Yes I did go
And the baby was still there
I'm still bleeding but now as much as I had when I went to the ER
And it's weird because it's only in the mornings when I wake up

Not all miscarriages have bright red blood with my first pregnancy I had brown spotting and I miscarried I suggest going and getting checked out what's normal for one woman is not normal for another it's always better to be safe than sorry

I still get bits of it if I have sex now, so we've put ourselves on a ban until our little girl comes, its not worth the worry!

I had A LOT of brown discharge up until around 10 weeks. Went to hospital and I had a cervical ectropian. Completely harmless, just hormone levels make cells grow on the outside of your cervix which can burst if you have sex or knock yourself even slightly. Mine calmed down eventually and now I have 8 1/2 weeks to go

I had a miscarriage in September. However the blood I had was bright red. I'm thinking maybe yours could just be left over blood since it's brown. But I would call your doctor just in case it never hurts to be too safe :) good luck girl

If its brown its usually spotting, miscarriages tend to be very heavy dark/bright red and clumpy (sounds gross i know)

If it gets worse i would go to hospital.
I know it can be scary
My first pregnancy i misscarried
This pregnancy i thought i was going to and went to er and it was just regular spotting now im 29w and 2d and baby healthy

The color, amount, and texture of blood should tell you alot though,
Good luck praying your baby is nice and healthy!
