spotting at 7w3d and trying not to freak out

[brownbear427]

Had my first scan last week and LO had a good heartbeat (128 bpm) at 6w3d. Everything has been going well with the pregnancy so far, but I just started having some light brown spotting last night and I'm completely freaking out now. I don't have any cramping, but my nausea hasn't been as bad for the last few days and I'm terrified that I might lose this one too.

This is exactly how my miscarriage started. I spotted, rested for a few days and it went away, it came back a week later, then the red spotting and heavy cramps started and then I lost the baby.

Really hoping this isn't a bad sign. Anyone have something similar in the first trimester?

I haven't experienced this but my good friend had spotting between her 7th and 8th week and is in her second trimester with everything fine now. My books said that bleeding at this time is normal as the baby "snuggles" into your uterine wall deeper at this time. Try to take it easy and keep thinking of that positive ultrasound. Best of luck to you!!

Yes it happened to me last week. Went for a scan and they saw some old blood in my uterus probably from implantation. Baby was fine. I continued spotting for a week. Just had a scan yesterday and baby is still growing on track with a hb of 171. They didn't see any more blood in my uterus and the spotting has stopped. It is incredibly scary though. Because of my history I'm getting weekly scans. Can you do the same for reassurance?
