I will be six weeks pregnant tomorrow and had some brown spotting today after taking a long bath. I know that everything I have read says that brown spotting is fine but it still has me worried. Is anyone else experiencing this.

I'm good. How are you doing? My spotting stopped and the nurse said it was fine and that there was nothing to worry about.

I'm 5 weeks and I also had the brown spotting and I freaked out.But aparently its normal, its basically implantation bleeding. Old blood from our little one trying to burry itself in our uterus. Congrats by the way!!

Hi! Well I had more spotting last week - brown and a hint of red. I freaked out and went to the doctor. They did an ultrasound and everything was fine. I haven't had any more since last Friday. I guess I need to just remain calm but that is easier said than done.

Hope you both are doing well.
