I am 8 or 9 weeks pregnant and haven t gone to the doctors yet. I have an appointment tuesday but i m getting anxious. I have been having gas pains some like menstrual cramping on and off since I have found out and I m wondering if thats normal. Also today in the middle of the day i noticed brown slightly dark blood-like discharge when wiping, help?
HI, I understand your concern.  Once pregnant, there should be no bleeding. It needs a gynecologists' consultation to pinpoint the cause & start with specific treatment right then.  * Such bleeding at 7-8 weeks pregnancy can be a weak pregnancy needing hormonal support for its maintenance/ It can be threatened abortion/infection in genital tract/ it can abnormality in pregnancy like blighted ovum or tubal pregnancy.  If not yet confirmed by pregnancy test/ USG/ doctors consultation. It can be simply menstrual abnormality because of hormonal imbalance/ POD/ ovarian or thyroid disorder.  * Dull ache in lower abdomen is common in early pregnancy... but sever cramping need investigations & gynecological examination followed by specific management. You should take bed rest & consult the earliest. Thanks.
