If you start having a lot of cramping you should probably go to the hospital for a check. Many women have a bit of bleeding early on. I wouldn't exactly say it's common, but it isn't unheard of either.
Good luck to you Brittnie

As long as it is a little bit of brown blood .. with no cramping its alright.
Brown blood is Old blood... and it could be blood held up there from implantation that finally made its way out.

Now if it starts turning pink, and/or accompanied by cramps.. then call your doctor or go to the doctors.

Good luck

the same thing happened to me and I have a perfect healthy boy. Every body is differ. I know the literature says that bleeding and spotting is of concern, I do think that some of that is exagerrated to a degree, what happens for some people might not be the same in your case. Everyones body is differ and unique. There could be another explanation that could account for the bleeding.

i went for ultrasound at 6 weeks 4 days and found that my bubs heart beat was only 80 (Very low) i went back a week later hb was 64 and was told i was going to miscarry went back a week later heart beat was 72 a week later heart beat was gone and that day i had brown discharge that night i was bleeding bright red and the miscarrige followed shortly there after the only thing you can do is go for an ultra sound pray and try very hard not to stress even though i know that not stressing about something like this is impossible stress does not change nor help my prayers and thoughts are with you i know the pain emotional and physical and no one should have to experience that my miscarrige occured 20/5/09 still very sad and devastated,
