brown spotting during pregnancy

I'm approx 9-10 weeks pregnant and things have been going good. Yesterday though I had some brown spotting in my underwear. It was kind of creamy looking and didn't exactly smell like blood. It smelled more awful than anything else. Since I have been to the bathroom many times and only once since has it been there. I am curious has this happened to anyone else? Should I worry? Also, I dont know if this means anything but I have been SERIOUSLY constipated and haven't moved my bowels in almost a week. any ideas what the brown spotting could be caused from and should I be concerned?? thanks so much!

Honey, you really need to see a doctor. If you are pg then you could be high risk b/c of your age. Spotting is normal in the first few weeks, especially brown. Brown could be from the baby digging into the wall of your cervix. Brown means its old.
Its also very normal for your period to change at your age. Lots of things can cause it, newly active sexually, the enviroment, change in diet, or activity.
Hope everythings goes good for you. Good luck.

Im 9 weeks pregnant, ten weeks in a few days.I've had brown spotting with occassional pinkish blood on and off for the last two weeks.I've also had dull/sharp cramps on and off ever since i founf out i was pregnant at 5weeks.
Im worried.Only shows when on the toilet paper and lately a little spot on underwear.Im getting worried and im going to go to the ER tonight.Has anyone had this before?I cramping on one side today, lower abdomin in two days and then on the other side the other day.Not everyday i have cramps.
Gosh this is making me so worried I know bleeding is not normal but there must be an explanation to old blood etc..
Happy pregnancy to all of you and i pray that we carry our babies full term.Never had a m/c before and this is my first pregnancy...

Hey guys I only just found out today that I am pregnant (from blood test) the doctor said I found out real early. As the HCG was only 45.  
I came back from the doctor and told my boyfiendim pregnant then went to the loo and there was light pink blood on the toilet paper.
I'm really scared as this never happened with my first child please help!
Is there something wrong??
