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!

I am 8 weeks tomorrow and have had dark brown discharge for 5 days now. No severe cramping, however a dull ache that comes and goes. I don't bleed at night but everyday I discharge about a quarter sized amount of dark brown blood.....I hate waiting to find out what's going on...but my first appointment is  in 4 days....any positive encouragement for me?

Just noticed your comment above a while ago about your bleeding at 24 weeks was just wondering how you got on. Hope everything was ok x
