Spotting while Pregnant?
I have read that spotting while pregnant is not anything to be alarmed about but this week I had spotting and it progressed to more. Is anyone else experiencing this as well? I'm 8 weeks along, is that normal?
For me, this is how it progressed:
Monday - Spotting (light pink on tissue after wiping)
Tuesday - nothing
Wednesday - light brown discharge when wiping, off-colored urine from it
Thursday - Spotting again and light discharge
Friday - Spotting again and more brown discharge
Saturday - no spotting or discharge, a random cramp here and there.
Sunday - I woke up and went to the bathroom, the tissue was covered in brown discharge and there were small red clots as well. The water in the bowl was a definite red/brown color so there must have been a lot. I had to wipe a few times to get rid of all the discharge and clots.
I am not experiencing any pain or cramps, so I have no idea if I should be worried or not.

I spoke to an advise nurse since it is a Sunday and she didn't indicate if it were normal or concerning, but we did book an appointment with my doctor for tomorrow morning. She told me to stay off my feet, hydrated, and out of the heat (we're having a heatwave right now).
I know I have been under a lot of stress figuring out how this new baby is going to change my life and making decisions to plan for that. I just hope I haven't caused any unecessary harm from all that stress. I'm not even sure if that's possible, but I know stress does strange things to your body.
