Brown Discharge - Any advice??

[em1]

Hi

I will be 12 weeks on thursday and having had a miscarriage earlier this year I am still really nervous that something will go wrong. I booked a private scan at 6 weeks where we saw a heartbeat. Having had a tiny amount of spotting 3 weeks ago I was sent for a scan at 9 weeks and 4 days (and saw the hearbeat again), I think the reason for my bleed was that I would have been due on at that time as the scan showed no signs of bleeding.

Again today (the time that I would be due on again) I have noticed some brown discarge when wiping. I am really worried that something is wrong but because it has stopped they won't put me forward for an earlier scan (it has been booked for 2 weeks time).

My question is has anyone else had bleeding/brown discharge during the time that they would have been due on?

Also having seen a heartbeat at 6 and 9 weeks, should the chances of having a miscarriage decrease?

Any advice would be very much appreciated!

Seein the heartbeat is a good sign. Ive had lots of bleeding that was heavy and slight and each time im comnvinced that its over but so far so good. I hope all is ok

I can't remember the exact figure but once you get to the 12 week mark and see/hear a heartbeat the risk of miscarriage is round about 1-3% - sorry I can't recall the exact figure - it's pretty low though. As you get later on in your pregnancy the risk of miscarriage drops.
