Are Mild Cramps With Brown Discharge Normal During Pregnancy?

I am about 5 weeks pregnant. I just took the test on Friday and I have an appointment with my OB on Thursday. I have been having very mild cramping and some brown discharge...more after working out and having sex. This is my first pregnancy and I am worried about a misscarriage already. Are these symptoms normal??

Hallow Dear,

Any time during pregnancy, abdominal pain and/or bleeding is to be taken seriously - particularly brown discharge may indicate that the baby is no more viable.

Please report to your Obstetrician for thorough check up. Ultrasonography will tell you the status of the baby. Urine pregnancy test may misguide you as it takes about 8-10 days for it to become negative after the baby has become non-viable.

If it is a missed abortion, you will have to undergo termination of pregnancy at the earliest to avoid serious complications like bleeding and infection.

I hope this helps you.
