I was 13 weeks two days ago. Right before 12 weeks, I passed a large blood clot (approx 3 by 4 inches). It was scary and awful. The next day we found out that everything looked fine. The baby was moving a lot, etc.
After a few days of light red bleeding, I transitioned to brown, slightly clumpy spotting, usually not even on my underwear. I am still spotting in that way.
I have an appointment on Monday to see what is up. I will also have routine blood work. I am concerned that my cervix is not closed, causing me to worry about a possible (or future) infection. The mw says that it is unlikely, but is unsure.
What could the other causes be?

: I hope you had only the best of news. 
The baby looks fine. She (actually we have no idea if it's a girl) is moving & growing appropriately. It doesn't look as though the bleeding is affecting the pregnancy.
Yes, an anterior placenta will make it harder to find baby's heartbeat, in fact one of my friends has had two (or maybe it was all three) placentas end up anterior and did make for some scary moments when doppler didn't pick up heartbeat so they rushed off for u/s. I'm wondering if that's why we had trouble finding baby's heartbeat last week... the previous two pg my placentas were posterior but ya never know.
