Hi ladies now I know that spotting in early pregnancy is totally normal as long as it is not bright red but just need some reassurance!! I am seven weeks pregnant today and I woke up this morning and had discoloured discharge with almost a pink brown tinge to it, I panicked and because I am lucky enough to know the midwife at the epu (I work in a hospital) she scanned my belly (didnt need a vaganial one) and there was baby and heart beat, she said everything looked fine she couldnt tell me the heart rate of the baby all she could tell me was that heart was beating and all looked ok and as far as she was concerned I was still very much pregnant, bleeding hasnt got worse and is only there when I use the toilet, I do however have a aching lower back and this is something I am worrying about although I did spend last night decorating so I could well have overdone things!
