A member asked:

2 questions.. i've been having these fluttering spasms under my right breast bone (rib cage area) not painful, just obnoxious... i'm also about 6 weeks pregnant, could this be some crazy symptom? lastly, i was spotting a little yesterday it was brownish

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I agree,: The fluttering sensations are probably just a crazy symptom, the spotting could come from implantation, although I typically see that around 8 - 9 weeks of gestation. You may want to refrain from heavy physical stress until the spotting has subsided.
