I just had a home pregnancy test turn up positive on Tuesday, and started
spotting Wednesday night. Thursday, my OB confirmed the pregnancy, and sent
me home with orders to stay in bed with my feet up, and come in for a second
pregnancy test on Monday, to see what the hormone levels are doing. I am
approximately 4 weeks at this point. According to him, usually this is just
"normal implantation bleeding" and doesn't neccesarily indicate an early
miscarriage.

My question is-does this mean I'm going to be stuck on bedrest through the
entire pregnancy? I'm already considered to be high risk because I lost one
baby to HELLP syndrome, and I knew I might end up on bedrest in the mid
second trimester, but I never expected anything so early-I'm already bored
stiff after one day. (Although my husband moving the computer helps), and I
think 8 months of this will drive both my husband and I totally insane!

I had implantation spotting (which at the time I thought was a short
period!) and then some weird spotting at 8 wks when I finally went to
the OB and found out I was pregnant. I also had to get hormone level
tests, but my OB just told me to take it easy and not to have sex until
they figured out what was going on. The bleeding stopped a few days
later and I am 23 wks now and have been on no bedrest.
