What Causes Brown Spotting During Pregnancy?

Hello, I m im six weeks pregnant. Two days ago I woke up with brown spotting blood. As the day progressed I had brighter medium flow blood. Visited the hospital and they took blood and said they were going to measure my hormones when I visit my OB on Monday. But last night I started to get more red blood and when I looked in the toilet I passed what I think its tissue. During my periods I never had passed any clots that were big. But this one was on the bigger side it wasn t like around or anything it was long and thin about one and a half inches long and a half inch wide. And for the rest of the last night and today I ve been passing smaller but still around the size of a dime clots. and I havewhat I think is really bad cramps. When I have my period I would get cramps but nothing like this. I can feel it in my lower back. And what I was wondering is if this does sound like a miscarriage. Or if I should go see a doctor at a hospital since it s the weekend. Or if I should wait until tomorrow morning to make an appointment with the OB. And if this doesn t sound like a miscarriage or if it does but there s still other things what else could it be. Thank you.

Hello
Looking at your history, it is suggestive of UTI or PID, Threatened or missed abortion or ectopic pregnancy.
So I would advise you to get urine test for culture and sensitivity as well as urine pregnancy test, you may require a course of antibiotics under supervision of your doctor or an surgical intervention.

since I can't physically examine you to get some clues, I would advise you to consult a gynaecologist immediately for an examination and an ultrasound to rule out other possibilities,

Maintain good hygiene
Have plenty of fluids who have will help by flushing off the urogenital tract.
You should avoid fatty fried spicy and junk food or carbonated drinks
Complete abstinence of smoking and alcohol is required

Hope this answers your question
Best wishes
