Brief Answer:
should be concerned.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome yo HCM. I Have gone through your query and understand your concerns. Nausea and vomiting are common in pregnancy and the contents in the vomitus are the one that you eat. Dark brown vomitus is not common and I will advise you to go to the doctor for a checkup. Also can you tell what did you eat before the vomiting as it can explain the color ? Regards Dr Manisha Jain.
