8 weeks pregnant with brown discharge

I've been feeling all the normal nausea, indigestion, gas, light cramps and fatigue. Thought all was going well until I was about to return to work from a break today and went to the bathroom. I had brown discharge in my underwaer. When I wiped, there was more. Not really any blood to mention but I suppose I should be concerned. I called my office about 1 hour ago and am still waiting on a call back. Has anyuone had this and had everything turn out fine? I still feel pregnant except for my nerves are shaking but I just wanted to know what I'm looking at. Thanks!

I had brown spotting with my 2nd dd. It is normal and brown is better than red.

Just take it easy and if it turns red or if you have any cramps I would call

your dr. Good Luck

Hi,

I had brown discharge with my first one. My doc said it was normal residual discharge and to not worry. Just to settle my mind, we had a US done and it was normal. As long as it is not red...you should be alright! Happy pg!
