Hey guys I just started spotting tonight. Its real light, brown. No cramping that i notice, feels like I walked alot which i was real active tonight. What do you guys think im so scared. I called ER they said it could be implantation bleeding, but im 7 weeks could that be right? I am scared of sleeping through something and it hurting me as well

Light brown spotting can be nothing, and is fairly common - many women have this, and go on to have perfectly normal pregnancies. It may be implantation - some women also spot around when their period would otherwise have been. But, to be honest, it can mean the start of problems as well. You just can't tell at first.

The only thing I can say is there's probably nothing you can really do right at the moment. Being active probably had nothing to do with it, and certainly didn't cause any harm.

You'll probably want to schedule an appointment pretty soon with you OB if you haven't already (though they're unlikely to see it as an "emergency"). Sleeping, if you can, is a good idea - you need the rest and there's little you can do but wait right now.

I pray that all is well. Let me know if you'd like to talk to someone.

That type of bleeding can be normal. It can be the placenta shifting. I would recommend calling your doctor to schedule an ultrasound so that you can at least feel at ease.

I had light brown spotting for most of my pregnancy from the beginning to about 2 weeks before my miscarriage. I'm not saying this to scare you because the browning had nothing to do with it. I had a U/S and everything was fine when I had the spotting.

It is very common to have spotting during your first trimester. If you continue to have spotting or pain appears go see your doctor. I hope everything goes well. God bless!
Ps. I'll just say an extra prayer!

Try not to worry. Tell your Dr. My sister-in-law bled through half of her pregnancy. The Dr. told her that it was quite common. She had a beautiful healthy baby. It is definitely alarming to see blood when you are pregnant. This early it could definitely be implantation bleeding. Best wishes.

I bled a little with all three of my children and they are all healthy. This past time I had bleeding just a bit but that is because there was tare in the placenta which healed itself up. Try not to worry...I know it's hard not to.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
