    Advice please

    Hey there,
    I had a little bit of bleeding on Friday night, about 1 teaspoon. I started freaking out as you do. Mum said to sit and put my feet up, ever since then it has been really light brown. My SIL said that my uterus is stretching an growing and that I should rest and take it easy. I am 15 weeks on Wednesday.
    I had started doing some light walkign last week - Do you think I can start this up again?

    I'd mention it to your OB or careprovider ASAP.
    A little spotting during pregnancy is not uncommon. Brown blood is old blood and usually nothing to worry about.
    I'd take it easy until you have it checked out JIC.
    All the best.

    hopefully nothing to worry about and brown blood is old blood but i would still get checked out JIC. it will also help ease your mind. my close friend bled on and off up until about 15 wks whenever she did too much but this was caused by her placenta sitting just mm away from her cervix. i'm sure all is ok but do get seen to its better to be safe than sorry

    Agree with others. Better safe than sorry, particularly if placenta is quite close to cervix, so see your OB.

    Good luck!

    Hey Quesa big hugs I know how you feel. I had the exact same thing last week at 15 weeks, I freaked out rang my ob and he told me to get into bed and stay there until I could see him the following morning, thank god by then the bleeding had stopped but the dr did an internal to check my cervix was closed and I had an ultrasound just to put my mind at ease, everything was perfect with the baby and me. I guess it's just one of those things no one can explain but it's pretty common. :hugs:
