Is light spotting normal on early pregnancy?

Hi mommies.. Can I ask if you have experienced some spotting for days like light brown and sometimes red during your early pregnancy? Is it just normal or something is off and should seek the OB attention immediately? Thanks for the inputs.

It's pretty common in early stage. However, do monitor for frequency and how heavy the flow is. If it's accompanied by pain or cramp, dont hesitate to seek medical attention. I went A&E 2 times because of spotting. The first visit, ntg much was done but to monitor. I saw brown spot but upon physical examination, there isnt active bleeding. The second time though, it was fresh blood with cramp more severe than menses. Dr gave progesterone pill to stabilize and hopefully to reduce the spotting. Advice was still to monitor but rold not to carry heavy things and take bed rest.
