Question about spotting for 2nd trimesterers

[Lillou]

Hello ladies, in need some advice. I woke up a few hours ago no spotting and laid down and got back up a couple hours later. When I wiped I noticed a very little amount of very light brown discharge and my second wipe a very light orange tinged to my cm. I started thinking this is the time of month I would ovulate and I had that before pregnant. I am pretty much terrified I have read everything from normal to not normal online. I am trying to decide if this is something to worry about or not. I am also debating on whether to go to the ER to be checked and ask for a scan or if I should just ignore it. I don't want to worry anyone needlessly if its likely normal. Oh I am 6 weeks 1 day now and I do not have cramping. Does anyone remember seeing this around 6 weeks and everything was fine? How long did it last?

Sorry you are going through this I know how scary it is. You should definitely get it checked out. For me it was normal and I have had it all through pregnancy...all colors, red, orange, brown, tan, pink. Try not to panic (easier said than done) as it can be somewhat common, but definitely get it checked out to make sure. Hope everything turns out ok

Do call your doctor and get checked out, just in case.

I've had all sorts of cm, from yellow to orange to beige to brown to even blood-stained jelly-like mucus, and I know quite a few ladies that bled full red blood and the baby's still there (or came into the world!)

Brown spotting/discharge is old blood, and each pregnancy is different. Like I said, do call your doctor and try to take it easy for a few days, but don't panic.
