I had a bright red bleed at 10 weeks. Scan was fine. I spotted brown for 2 weeks afterwards.

My bleeding was caused by part of the placenta not quite joining to the wall of the uterus, causing a small clot, which came out.

At A & E here they have a room especially for women bleeding before 12 weeks, that's how common it is.

I think I would be concerned if the brown suddenly went bright red and heavy. Brown is old blood, so I think the bleeding inside is over and done with, the blood is just still finding its way out.]]> Mon, 21 Feb 2011 20:22:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38086&PID=1272090&title=spotting-does-it-stop#1272090 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38086&PID=1272055&title=spotting-does-it-stop#1272055 Author: Shezamumof3

I have had bleeding with both my pregnacies, all before 6 weeks but, I bled pink/red then had scans to check it was ok and I bled brown for a few weeks afterwards as well.
Its so awful seeing it, but I just kept telling myself things were ok, had a scan and saw bubs etc

Totally normal. I had a freak out at 5 weeks because I had constant light bleeding for 3 days. Turns out a lot of women get it.

It is only when it becomes heavy or is accompanied by stronger than normal cramps it is something to worry about]]> Mon, 21 Feb 2011 17:10:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38086&PID=1271941&title=spotting-does-it-stop#1271941 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38086&PID=1270998&title=spotting-does-it-stop#1270998 Author: jano1

Thanks for that- I thought 6 days was a long time, 10 must have been hard.]]> Sun, 20 Feb 2011 10:01:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38086&PID=1270998&title=spotting-does-it-stop#1270998 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38086&PID=1270969&title=spotting-does-it-stop#1270969 Author: caraMel

Yup it can be normal.
I had 4 lots of spotting/bleeds in my last pregnancy and it continued for a week - 10 days afterwards each time.
It is not a nice thing to go through, even when you know bubs is ok. I hope it stops soon and stays away for you.]]> Sun, 20 Feb 2011 09:07:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38086&PID=1270969&title=spotting-does-it-stop#1270969 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38086&PID=1270954&title=spotting-does-it-stop#1270954 Author: jano1

I am 11 weeks and last Tuesday started spotting dark brown blood. It got worse so I had a viability scan on Wednesday and everything looks fine.

Since then, the spotting has continued, it's not as bad as it was Tues/Weds but still noticeable when I wipe (TMI).

There have been a few threads on this but I was wondering if it was 'normal' to keep spotting for periods of time and if this was going to continue. Now that I have had the scan I'm not worried, just wondering whats going on.]]> Sun, 20 Feb 2011 08:37:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38086&PID=1270954&title=spotting-does-it-stop#1270954
