Spotting at 7 weeks


I am 7 weeks pregnant and yesterday i noticed a bit of brown (old) blood in my knickers when i wiped but today there is none there yet. This would have been the time when i would have had my period had i not been pregnant. Is this normal to happen at 7 weeks or is it a sign to tell me that something is wrong? Has anyone experienced this problem? Please help as i am very desperate!!!

I'm pregnant and am constantly spitting ila nimepata dawa its work for me..


I spit with all two of my pregnancies, and yes all were boys. Now , I'm on my third and yes tatizo ni lilelile jamani. I have tried sunflower seeds, lemons, and Altoids, also plain salt. They all just make my tongue and jaws raw. Nimeongeana watu wengi kuhusu hili tatizo , guess what no answer, some people have never heard of this case. It was until one day, I was spitting so bad, nikakutana na mbibi and she said you are pregnant right. I ask how did she know, the spitting gave it away. Anyway she told me to try dry coffee under my tongue and it will dry the spit right up. GOOD NEWS ! She was right. Yes it will make you gag a little when rinse it out. But hey the watery taste is gone. Feels great to go out and without a cup. pliz mnaotaka kushere na watu jinsi gani umemudu hali kama hii au ya experience pliz jamani tusaidiane ni mimi mama JO.
