ANYONE HERE? I need help regarding my spotting (TMI)

all I did yesterday was bake cookies for a few hours, a load of laundry, and walk the dog a few times....well the spotting got heavy towards the evening (after being on my feet) and actually had red in it.

I feel like whenever I'm on my feet, it 's worse. I just took a shower and walked the dog and more heavy spotting, like a light AF but brown and it was even slightly clotty....sorry if TMI

When I was spotting my dr. put me on bedrest. You should take it easy. What may seem like doing nothing is actually doing a lot when you're pregnant.

Thanks Jenn...I'm waiting to call in a few minutes. I have an appt on Wed which they squeezed in so I'm hoping they tell me to stay home till then

I think you should insist on seeing them today -- seeing blood is far too scary for you to be able to wait until Wednesday!

Keep us posted, we'll be worrying about you!!

When I saw blood at around 8 weeks I just went to the Er my referral hadn't gone through so I had too. They did an internal and an ultrasound. There isn't going to be much they can do but tell you to sit with your feet up but it will help.

Call in sick and call your doc and if your doc isn't there go to to the ER.

Thanks Calla....thye had to squeeze my U/S and consultation in this week due to the holiday (this is to make up for the first appt I never got last week when I went for the U/S)

There wasn't much red blood...just some spots of real red amongst the brown when I wiped, but still enough to scare me

Thanks Laurie....no insurance till Jan 1 so the ER is out of the question. I'm on the phone now (I don't even have my 'own' doctor in the practice yet!!).

Did you see red or brown blood???

Re: ANYONE HERE? I need help regarding my spotting (TMI)

I saw what I would call a brown discharge. One minute there would be none then I would feel a good amount.

Can you pick a new OB office maybe one that has an ultrasound machine? That sounds like it would be easier for you.

I'm sorry about the no insurance. Basically the gist of is you need someone to look up there and make sure your closed up tight is there any local walk in clinics in the area... try to find one that might have an ultrasound. I think there call Urgent care centers.
