I'm 8week's pregnant and have slight light brownish spotting could this be a miscarriage?

Answer 1

Unfortunately it sounds as though you may be having a threatened miscarriage. It is nothing to do with having sex yesterday as 8 weeks is one of the times when this may happen. If you continue to cramp and have clots, or you get red blood you need to see your doctor. Good Luck

Answer 2

Although it is well known that women are at the most significant risk of a miscarriage in the first trimester of pregnancy 'spotting' can occur for many, various reasons at any stage of pregnancy and is not neccessarily indicative of a miscarriage. what I would say is that although 'spotting' is perfectly normal for many women at any stage of pregnancy, it can also serve as an early indication of potential problems and for this reason it is probably best that you consult a G.P. I have had three children and spotted frequently during one pregnancy, my son was born happy and healthy with no problems!! Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Not to be a downer, but I would get to my doctor right away. My first pregnancy ended at 9 weeks. The first symptom was brown clots. However, I have been told by doctors that brown spotting can just be old blood and not a miscarriage. I hope everything works out, good luck.
