brown discharge

[neane]

Hi there and welcome, I too am nine weeks pregga's i also had some light brown spotting after doing some exercise and spoke to my fs nurses about it they said that sometimes it can be due to the implantation bleed coming out. But yours sounds like it is ongoing for awhile now it is a great sign that you don't have any cramping associated with this. I would definetely go and see another doctor who is more comfortable and capable of dealing with pregnant women. Who did you see at your hospital that recommended this doctor and go back and tell them that you want to be referred to someone else and they will have to find someone for you, where abouts do you live? Other members on belly belly may be able to recommend someone in your area. neane

thanks neane,

congratulations to you as well!!

i am from the south/east, dr was not recommended by anyone at hospital, its just our family doctor, and is more than capable with any other problems but does not come across as too confident with this issue (so far).

which hospital are you registered with?

thanks for your advice and good luck!!

I'm In country Victoria I decided to go with my gynae privately because of the long waiting times they have at my closest hospital which is Ballarat, It is a bit more expensive than I expected but worth it. How are you going?

Hey First Timer

Glad to hear the spotting has stopped I had it for a week solid (wasn't around normal AF time and was at about 9-10 weeks) and it can be a scary time, but here I am almsot 20 weeks and bubs is doing great. As long as it stays as brown blood than it is old blood and not to be stressed about and it is very common in pregnancy. Just feel so happy for you

Good Luck finding an OB, when I first went to the DR at 4 weeks they asked me then if I was planning to go public or private and I said private and which hospital, then the decision was male or female OB, and I chose female and was lucky to get in with mine. There is a huge shortage in SA and I believe NSW, so if youa re thinking of getting your own OB I recommend doing it sooner rather than later.

and wishing you a Happy and Healthy Pregnancy!
