  Light spotting without cramping can be common at 5 weeks. I had a few days of spotting at 4 weeks and everything has turned out fine so far for me. If you’re worried about it you could call your OB and just update them to see what they say. In the meantime try to relax, which I know is harder than it sounds! Also, as olivemomma said, definitely call if the bleeding becomes heavy or you start to feel cramps.

  If it's light spotting with no cramps, like @olivemomma said, it's normal. My OB said it would be natural to spot a little bit if my cervix got irritated (like after having sex). I was told to check in with the OB if the spotting got heavier (flow more like a period) or became bright red. Call your OB if you need peace of mind. 
  
  PS - we have a symptoms thread that would be a great place to ask this type of question in the future!

  I'm 7 weeks tomorrow and I saw spotting this morning. This will be baby #4 and I'm getting up in age (38). Minor cramps but I'm hoping that's just because I haven't had breakfast yet. My appointment isn't until June 12th. I'm a little worried.
