Ok so i posted on sunday because i found out i am 5 weeks. i started having some dark brown spotting. it was heavy for all of 30min and then died down to just spotting when i wiped. that lasted a couple of days. two days ago it stopped and then suddenly tonight it seems heavy again. i was at work earlier today and had to go home because i was very dizzy and felt sick. i knew it was because i hadnt had a proper breakfast, but now i am wondering if everything is ok with the baby. i dont have any cramps, and no fresh blood. but i still worry about the spotting. this is my first so i am learning about all this right now.
is it normal to have the spotting come and go????

Have you called your gynae? This is strongly advised. I have heard of mothers having period/spotting during early days of pregnancy but kind of rare though. It is best to consult your gynae and let them know so as to monitor your pregnancy better. I am sure you be fine!:)

Not to scare you, but you should talk to your doctor or go to the ER. Any spotting should be reported! With my miscarriage I spotted for a couple of weeks and it wasn't until the night before the passing of my miscarriage that I had cramping. My biggest mistake was not letting someone know about the spotting. Of course everything could be just fine, but your doctor should know anyway.

quite a few girls experience some light spotting but you should always let your doctor know.
And feeling dizzy and nausous is a pregnancy symptom and I wouldn't say anything is wrong but if you are really concerned it is always best to let your doctor know about your feelings and see what he/she has to say. Good luck.

You should call your OBGYN right away. I had bleeding like a light period with red blood, and I went to the ER and they said that it was something about my placenta tearing away from my uterus. I went to see my OBGYN the next day and she told me that I had a thing where I had blood pooling that was causing the water bag and the placenta to tear away from the uterus. Because they cought it, they were able to pervent a miscarriage. So it is good to call your OBGYN.

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
