Brown discharge @ 8 weeks

Hi. This is my second pregnancy. I've been having brown discharge and some cramping since 3 weeks. Had an early ultrasound at 6 weeks and saw the heartbeat. Dr says everything seemed fine. But 2 weeks later I'm still having brown discharge and some cramping. I don't understand why. Anyone else experience this?

It happened with me with my first. My doctor says it was old blood....I guess like left over blood from periods. I always say though if you are concerned goo to the E.R or explain to you doctor that you nervous about it

I had a lot of brown spotting around 8 weeks that lasted till 12 weeks.  OB said it's ok.   Brown spotting means it's old blood.   Sometimes around the time that you're suppose to have your period it'll pick up.  If you're nervous definitely call the OB.   That's what they're there for.
