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!

yeah its worrying to see discharge and pv spotting and clots during pregnancy,in most of cases it is not at all dangerous or worrying,but some serious conditions needs to be ruled out like the poosibility of ectopic pregnancy or molar pregnancy and early miscarriage so for this purpose i wiill advice you to have a tvs(trans vaginal scan) that will help you out.mean while till you get your date you shoukld have atleast one blood test of serum beta hcg.......regards Dr.fakhra

Hi I'm 13 weeks and today I noticed brown discharge as well.  I went to the dr. did blood work and ultrasound I have a UTI and they said that is probably where the brown discharge is coming from.  Bloodwork and ultrasound were all fine.  Baby moving around a lot and good heartbeat.  Hope this helps.  Very worried as well I've had 2 m/c in the past and went through IVF with this pregnancy.  13 weeks is the furthest I've ever been.
