Traveling first Trimester, spotting for 4 weeks

Sharing my story in case some mamas are facing the same situation. I found out I was pregnant (5 weeks old) 4 days before my Europe trip (2 weeks long). Went to Gynae because I have brown discharge and needed advice whether I could travel. Doc gave me duphaston for my spotting. After discussing with my family, I proceeded to travel. My symptoms were mild but spotting didn’t stop. After 2 weeks I came back to SG and went to do a gynae scan. Heard my baby’s heartbeat for the first time 🥰. Gynae gave me injection to stabilise the spotting and asked me to monitor. Hope I’m able to give some clarity to mamas experiencing spotting + thinking whether to travel during first tri

Also had brown spotting around 5 weeks, with a planned 2 week europe trip the following day. went to KKH urgent O&G care to get checked, and they did a hormone test. Results available in 3 hours. If pass certain level then it’s deemed ok (lower chance of miscarriage). doc didn’t prescribe any duphaston (to increase hormone levels). Went ahead w travel plans and spotting stopped after 2 days.
