I’m 12w6d today and I started having brown discharge last night and this morning. I’ve not spotted at all during my pregnancy so I was just a little worried. It happened last night before I went to bed. And this morning I went pee and wiped and it’s still there. I posted the photo in the comments, should I be concerned???
Edit: I will add I’ve had very light cramping yesterday and today too. Nothing severe at all, it’s been light.

I’ve heard that it can be very common but I would keep monitoring it to see if it gets heavy or bright red. I’m 12 weeks today and haven’t spotted my whole pregnancy. I’m constantly checking because of a previous miscarriage but the research suggests that brown spotting can be totally normal esp later like this because of all the changes involving the placenta taking over :)

I had some like that with my last pregnancy. It's not bright red, like it's fresh, so it's not an immediate threat. With mine, it was a subchorionic hematoma, which can just happen, but isn't a direct threat to your baby. You're moving in to your second trimester soon and spotting can be normal with the baby moving up out of your uterus and in to the womb.

I have a Subchorionic hematoma and this kind of discharge has been pretty common the entire time.
Sometimes it looks scarier than it is. But just keep an eye on it. Try to take it easy and if it seems to get more contact your midwife or obgyn

Same! I just had my 12 week appointment and she said this was normal and to be expected. It’s when there’s any heavy bleeding (like when on period) you should be concerned 😅
