What causes red spotting during 8th week of pregnancy?
Patient: hello i am about 8 weeks pregnant and for the last 2 days i been seeing brown stuff when i wipe after the bathroom and today i have two period like cramps i dont have tender breast or really any symptoms at that i call the doctor but they seemed like they didnt care i am getting worried it may be a miscarriage Doctor: Hi,In the current scenario, I would ask you to choose a specialist who is trained in high risk pregnancies or who can manage such cases. If your attending doctor shows no concern toward your problem, please take a second opinion. The viability of the pregnancy should be established through a trans-vaginal sonogram. If there is any hemorrhage seen, the need to initiate hormone supplements must be thought of. Absolute bed rest, avoidance of all strenuous activity including sexual intercourse are mandatory. If needed, serial titres of serum beta-hCG may be taken since good progress of the pregnancy is seen when there are doubling titres every 2-3 days. Hope this helps.
