Brown spotting at 14 weeks

| I had a subchorionic hematoma that caused very light brown spotting from 5 weeks to 10 weeks or so, then it tapered off to virtually nothing. Since then, I've had a normal NT scan and NIPT results came back low-risk, so I started to relax. There was no sign of the SCH on the NT scan. Today, though, I started spotting again -- still definitely brown but heavier than before. Anyone have anything like this? Could it be the remnants of the SCH? |

Possibly. Please contact your ob gyn.
I know this is stressful. |

Definitely check with your ob. Did you have sex recently? I occasionally have spotting a day or two after sex while pregnant.
I hope all is okay, OP! Thinking of you. |

| Definitely ask your OB but this can indeed be totally harmless. |

| Thanks, everyone. I did call the triage line at my OB's office, and they said what I expected they would say: wait and monitor, call back if it turns red or gets heavier, but this could well just be the SCH resolving or something else benign. I sure wish I had a home doppler right now... |

| I had a SCH that started at 6 weeks - 9 weeks and then seemed to resolve. But at 11 weeks, it came back and I had constant spotting from 11-17 weeks, when it finally resolved again. My dr said that, as long as the bleeding isn’t heavy, bright red, or grey tissue, or accompanied by heavy cramps, it’s probably nothing b |

| Sounds like just remnants of the SCH, I spotted brown on and off for what seemed like months after my SCH. |

| This happened to me when I was pregnant. About the same time in my pregnancy. My baby is now 6. I think red blood is more of a concern. |

That's good! Of course keep monitoring as they say but you should be reassured that they didn't tell you to come right in. |

OP here. Thanks for the advice and reassuring stories. The spotting seems to have tapered off some today, and I can feel reassuring flutters of movement right now, so I'm feeling a little less anxious.
This is pregnancy #4 for me (including one first trimester loss), and I never had a single day of bleeding or spotting with the others. It's helpful to know that others have had similar symptoms and all has worked out ok. |

| I had spotting with both of my pregnancies. It’s something that always need to get checked out but for me at least it was nothing. |
