Mauve spotting after +HPT

Hi, I just got a conclusive + PT yesterday after several faint lines last week. (Period was due a week ago and was very light -- 1.5 days). But, tonight, I've got some mucousy mauve streaked discharge. I'm very concerned and worried about miscarriage. I'll see my doc tomorrow, but I'd love to here something positive tonight! Help!

Try not to worry too much. I spotted the whole first trimester with both of my kids. It drove me absolutely nuts but it finally stopped around 10 weeks. The doctor said that the spotting is just from the cervix, which gets a lot more blood vessels during pregnancy (or something like that) and is sensitive in some women. She said not to worry about it unless it gets heavy like a period and you get really crampy.

Good luck to you!

BIG HUGS to you.. Its good that you are seeing your doc. When I was 5 weeks pregnant I had a full blown AF.. I went to the ER thinking I was having a miscarriage..they checked me out real good and told me to take it easy.. lay down and put your feet up.. Honestly.. you may be straining somewhere in your daily routine. Just get off your feet for a while.. ( this is what I was told by a doc as well ) .. If you start to bleed at all.. lay down and get your feet up.. and call your doc.. they say if you lay down it will help ease the bleeding and sometimes make it stop.. I wouldn't get yourself to upset and too worried.. after all you just found out your going to have a lil baby :O) ! Let your doc know whats going on.. but until then just relax and put your feet up and take it easy.. hope all works out for you.. please let us know what happens.. Best wishes to you
