Go ahead and call your doctor and let them know what's going on. It's a good idea to report all bleeding just to be safe.

Re your question, it depends. Have you had painful cramps, a fever, extremely sharp pain on one side, or a severe headache along with the bleeding? These are warning signs of a serious problem. If you experience any of that, get to the ER right away.

Brown blood is better than bright, fresh blood. Soaking one pad all day isn't automatically a huge bad sign; soaking a pad an hour is serious. In early pregnancy, it's freaky but relatively common to have a little spotting or bleeding. About one-third of women have this happen. Causes can include sex, low hormones or a cyst, among others.

Bleeding during pregnancy is not considered normal.  I would suggest you call your dr today to let them know what is going on.
