I am just over 5 weeks pregnant and have been getting brown discharge for the last few days. I have read about spotting but this term sounds more like tiny spots rather than anything more and mine appears to be more than this. I have no cramping or back aches. Please can someone let me know whether this is normal and how long this normally lasts. As this is my first pregnancy I am not sure what to expect and when I read the internet it tells you conflicting things.
