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'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
