please help ease my mind... (warning TMI inside!)

so yesterday was my first day at work where i was working the 12 hour shifts that i would be doing. and so im working i must have pee'd a good 24-30 times in that 12 hours they must have thought i was hiding since i was being trained!

anyway when i went to the bathroom i notice i had some brownish mucous not only on the TP but in the toilet. i was so upset i started to cry and now im at a job where noone knows im preggo. i didnt know what to do so i started freaking. i pulled myself together and went back to work. i work on my feet all day no sitting. so everytime i felt something iw ould run to the bathroom. luckly it was really only that one time. but i still am concerned it hasnt happened since but i still have some very slight AF cramps. i tried calling the doc. but by the time i could call the ofice was closed and todays sat. and they are closed.

someone please tell me this is normal!

i have had that experience before...is it normal? that i'm not sure of -i just know i have had it...

if you are worried - call your doctor - they SHOULD have an answering service. you can leave a message for the 'on call' doctor to call you back.....

I had the same thing for a few weeks in the first trimester and it turned out to be nothing-- just old blood after my cervix was irritated. I had cramps through my entire first tri, too. I would call your doctor just to be safe, though. I had to get a RH shot because even if it is slight spotting, they need to make sure that the baby's blood isn't mixing with yours if you have dif blood types, so it is worth it to get checked out. Good luck!!!

i had this in the beginning of my pregnancy. It turned out to be nothing serious. I am not almost 38 weeks. Try not to worry, but call the Dr. office. They should have an answering service.

lots of people have had this, but i would still call the Dr.
