I've been having brown spotting off and on for about a week and a half. First one morning, just a little bit, then a tiny bit on a panty-liner. Then another day about 4 days after that, then again today.

Everything I can find says not to worry if it's brown. I have my first MW appt. tomorrow, so I'm hoping everything is fine, but I'm just trying not to freak out. Anyone else have/had this? What's the deal?

I had brown spotting for a few days around 5 wks pg. My midwife says that it is fairly normal in the first trimester and they are concerned if it turns red or is accompanied by cramping/passing clots.
Hopefully, all is well for you and your babe!

When I was pg with dd I had brown spotting throughout the 1st tri. I know how hard it is not to worry, but remember that tons of women have spotting like that and nothing is wrong. Sending you some sticky vibes!

There were a couple threads earlier in the DDC about this - lots of us had at least some spotting. I had mostly brown spotting for about two weeks starting around 5w, and everything's fine. It can be pretty scary, though.

MW says, not a big deal. So I'm just trying to relax and enjoy the pregnancy.

Thanks for the feedback ladies!
