Normal? I don't know.  Happens often? Yes.  I had spotting at 5wks and 3days.  It lasted for  a few days and really scared me.  I went to the doctor's and everything looked ok.  From what I have read and heard from family and friends it is pretty common.  As long as it is not bright red.  If you are worried call you doctor and they will tell you what to do from there.

Have you been to the doctor's yet?  You should always call your doctor when you have spotting, no matter what color it is.  I have two friends who had red and brown spotting around 7-8 weeks, one had an ultrasound and everything was fine.  The other one when checked out turned out to be the beginnings of a miscarriage.  You never know!  So, call your OB.  Spotting is very normal in early pregnancy though, just remember that.

I haven't had any spotting (I'm 9 weeks) unitl today when I went to the bathroom at my RE's office, and of course, there it was. No blood in my uterus and the baby was fine! So I would say yes, it's OK as long as it's brown and no cramping.

I think almost everyone will have some spotting. Don't worry about it. It could be placenta implantation.
