Spotting Question...UPDATED

Did anyone spot throughout the first trimester or their entire pregnancy?

I have been spotting (brown only) since i was about 4 weeks...now i'm 6w4d and still spotting? Last sono was normal, even heard the heartbeat and going for a follow up today. should i be worried?

UPDATE:
So had my follow up sono last night and everything is looking great! Little Bean is growing right on schedule and the tech did the sono both internal and on my tummy (which i thought it would be too early for but i guess I was wrong )
Doc told me that there was no sign of bleeding and if all I see if brown spotting then i can just ignore that. I have another appt in 2 weeks so all I have to do is just take it easy and continue "pelvic rest"
thanks for everyone's help!

Re: Spotting Question...

my OB told me point blank that there is no rhyme or reason as to why some women spot and others don't. i had mentioned 3 instances of spotting when she told me that.

to be honest - she said some women will spot or bleed throughout the ENTIRE pregnancy and give birth to healthy, wonderful babies....and others will miscarry and never bleed an ounce and doctors' have no idea why...

brown to me = old blood that never quite made it 'down the pipes'... i would let the OB know- but unless the spotting is accompanied by painful cramping or changes color - you SHOULD be fine.

I've talked with the doc about it and that's why i'm going in for another sono today just to make sure we are ok...it's just a little nerve racking

Re: Spotting Question...

I bled in the beginning. It wasn't even brownish, it was red. It seriously scared me to death. My OB did sonos and he looked at my cervix and told me that I have a very vascular cervix which is why I was bleeding. He also told me that the bleeding was fine as long as it stopped, turned brown and as long as it wasn't coupled with bad cramping. I'm sure everything is ok. Please keep us updated.

I spotted my entire first trimester, it was a lot too, very scary. DS is totally fine and healthy

Re: Spotting Question...

im 6w7d and spotted brown blood my entire 5th week. as soon as it turned to week 6 it stopped. it was weird. but my dr said it was normal as long as there was no cramping or red blood.

lol, but as soon as the spotting stopped, i started getting these pinching sensations on my right side. it was only for 2 days and on and off and werent painful, just weird. the dr said that was normal too. he said there'll be alot of pinching and stretching and to get used to it lol.

Re: Spotting Question...

well it makes me feel a little bit better knowing i'm not the only one...i'm a worrier and i can't help it! hopefully (fingers crossed) all will go great at the sono today and i'll be able to breathe a little more.
I haven't realy been having cramps...just sometimes mild gas pain (which i've learned that it really was ) and once in a while a whisper of a cramp but barely even noticeable.

Re: Spotting Question...

well i'm off soon so i'll update tomorrow! thanks for the support ladies!!!

Re: Spotting Question...

I started spotting at 9 weeks through 11 weeks. I had an U/S because I was so nervous. Everything was fine. My OB said that implantation bleeding can last up to 12 weeks.

Re: Spotting Question...

I had a couple of episodes of light spotting in the first trimester. The dr. requested that I notify her each time it happened. I was sent for a couple of sono's to check on the baby and all was ok
